The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.  Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.   But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.   And don't miss On the Come Up, Angie Thomas's powerful follow-up to The Hate U Give.    Want more of Garden Heights? Catch Maverick and Seven's story in Concrete Rose,   ngie Thomas's powerful prequel to  The Hate U Give.
