‘Dear Martin’ by Nic Stone

Teenage fiction – although it might actually be adult fiction – it was in the book cupboard at school. Feels like teenage fiction.

It follows Justyce, a black high school student from Atlanta, who gets shot by a white officer duty police officer. Justyce survives but his best friend is killed.

He starts a journal to Dr Martin Luther King Jr, to try to make sense of everything that is happening.

It’s a good read. Apparently based loosely on the murder of Jordan Davis in 2012.
