From the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin comes the thrilling final installment of the series, set in college. Jared (white, Justyce''s roommate, woke) is running for Junior class president. With his antiracism platform, he''s a shoo-in. But he''s up against the new girl, Dylan. Will Jared have to choose between his head and his heart? Jared Peter Christensen is running for president (of the Junior Class Council at his university, but still). His platform is solid—built on increased equity and inclusion in all sectors of campus life—and he’s got a good chance of beating the deeply conservative business major he’s running against. But then a transfer student enters the race and calls Jared out for his big-talk/little-action way of moving. But what’s the right way to bring about change? As the campaign heats up, feelings are caught, and juicy secrets come to light, and Jared writes letters to his deceased friend Manny, hoping to make sense of his confusion. What’s a white boy to do when love and politics collide? New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone writes from a new perspective in this exciting final chapter of the Dear Martin series that examines privilege, love, and our political climate.

Het verbluffende vervolg op de #1 New York Times-bestseller Wat zou Martin doen? In dit langverwachte vervolg op haar bestseller werpt Nic Stone een kritische blik op de gebrekkige praktijken en ideologieën die Afro-Amerikaanse jongens en minderheden in het Amerikaanse rechtsysteem discrimineren. Vernell LaQuan Banks en Justyce McAllister groeiden allebei op in zuidwest Atlanta, een paar straten van elkaar. Jaren later loopt Justyce door de roemruchte zalen van Yale en zit Quan achter de tralies van een jeugddetentiecentrum. Door middel van flashbacks en brieven aan Justyce – de hoofdpersoon van Wat zou Martin doen? – krijgt Quans verhaal vorm. Problemen thuis en misverstanden op school leiden tot ontmoetingen met de politie en moeilijke beslissingen. En dan is er een dode agent en een wapen met Quans vingerafdrukken erop. Hoe kan het dat een doodgewone jongen als Quan zomaar verzeild raakt in een moordzaak? Quan weet het zelf ook niet. Quotes over Wat zou Martin doen?: ''Een krachtig, ontwrichtend verhaal dat je niet weg kunt leggen en dat de geschiedenis en de huidige situatie van racisme in Amerika blootlegt.'' John Green ''Ongelooflijk, eerlijk, hartverscheurend! Een must-read!'' Angie Thomas, auteur van The Hate U Give ''Het verhaal van Justyce is serieus, grappig, pijnlijk menselijk en hoopvol. Ik ben voor altijd veranderd.'' Becky Albertalli, auteur van Simon vs. de verwachtingen van de rest van de wereld ''Rauw en aangrijpend.'' Jason Reynolds, auteur van 67 seconden ''Wat Justyce en Manny overkomt is nog steeds de dagelijkse realiteit voor veel te veel mensen. Ouders die hun kinderen moeten bijbrengen hoe ze zich moeten gedragen als ze met de politie in aanraking komen, omdat ze het anders misschien niet overleven. En jongeren die elke dag voor de keuze staan: blijf ik mijn best doen of haak ik af? Dit boek heeft me echt de ogen geopend. Het kan zo niet langer.'' Margot Reesink, vertaler van Wat zou Martin doen?

Aangrijpend verhaal voor fans van The Hate U Give Justyce is een goede jongen. Hij haalt uitmuntende cijfers. Hij staat altijd klaar voor zijn vrienden. Waarom is hij dan degene met handboeien om? Justyce McAllister haalt hoge resultaten op school, is aanvoerder van de debatclub en hij mag volgend jaar naar Yale. Maar dat doet er allemaal niet toe als een politieagent handboeien rond zijn polsen sluit. Uiteindelijk wordt Justyce weer vrijgelaten, zonder verdere aanklachten (en ook zonder excuus), maar het incident houdt hem bezig. Nu hij verhuisd is naar een betere wijk, wordt hij nog steeds lastiggevallen door de jongens uit zijn oude buurt en hij voelt zich ook niet welkom in zijn nieuwe klas. De enige uitzondering is Sarah Jane, Justyce'' knappe – en witte – debatpartner, van wie hij wenste dat hij haar niet zo leuk vond. Op een dag rijdt Justyce samen met zijn beste vriend Manny rond in de auto – raampjes open, muziek hard aan. Dat valt niet in goede aarde bij een automobilist die naast hen staat te wachten voor het stoplicht. Maar zijn twee brutale jongens die het volume net iets te hard zetten reden genoeg om een wapen te trekken?
