(2) YA A white assailant shoots and kills sixteen-year-old Tariq, who was black, and Magoon tells the story through the many voices of those directly and peripherally involved. Their simple words yield a complicated story. Magoon expertly differentiates the characters by delineating their thoughts, feelings, and motivations; and the accumulation of voices weaving through the narrative effectively makes this believably complex.
