Volponi, Paul

Response

(3) YA Noah lands in the hospital, the victim of a hate crime, after he and his friends (en route to steal a car) are assaulted in a white neighborhood. As Noah recovers and prepares for the trial, his story, interjected with multiple viewpoints, illustrates the complexities of contemporary race relations. Volponi raises numerous talking points, enriching this page-turner.
