Read an extract from the book that's being described as the young adult novel of the year. The Hate U Give is written by Angie Thomas, a former rapper and debut novelist from Jackson, Mississippi. The book is inspired by Thomas' real-life experiences and, as well as being an enjoyable thriller, gives us a real idea of what it's like to be black in America.
