The Hate U Give by Angie ThomasRead about another book on the list.
A reassuring trivia for all aspiring writers: before Angie Thomas wrote The Hate U Give, she’d written another book that wasrejected by more than 150 agents. In 2017, Thomas’s debut became a publishing sensation. It went straight into the bestseller chart and stayed there for a year. It’s a powerful look at the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Hate U Give is among Natasha Ochshorn's seven banned books that should be required reading.
