From critically acclaimed author of Black and White comes a gripping tale of survival and justice in a divided community.
“Writing in an authentic voice, Volponi balances sensitivity and rage.”—Booklist
“Noah’s story is an important one, and although not an easy book to read, it is recommended.”—VOYA

What happens when a bad plan ends up crossing the line?
Noah and his friends go to a predominantly all-white neighborhood with a plan: steal a car, sell it to a chop shop, and make some fast cash. But that never happens. Instead, Noah, a teen father, becomes the victim of a vicious beating that leaves him with a fractured skull. The question is: was the attacker protecting his turf . . . or did he target Noah just because he’s Black? Was this a random violent attack or a hate crime?
