There’s a book called When We was Fierce by e. E. Charlton-Trujillo coming out August 9th that would probably be a good addition to the list.
Fifteen-year-old Theo isn’t looking for trouble, but when he and his friends witness a brutal attack on Ricky-Ricky, an innocent boy who doesn’t
know better than to walk right up to the most vicious gang leader around, he’s in trouble for real. And in this neighborhood, everything is at stake. In a poignant, unflinching novel of survival told largely in street dialect, e.E. Charlton-Trujillo enters
the lives of teenagers coming of age in the face of spiraling violence among gangs, by police, and at home.
