(2) YA Seventeen-year-old narrator Kiera is (secretly) the creator of the hugely popular multiplayer gaming community SLAY, which is rooted in Black culture and which she developed to "showcase how awesome we are as Black people, how multifaceted, resilient, and colorful we are." When a troll disrupts SLAY--and an act of real-life violence follows--Kiera must investigate the events without losing herself or compromising her creation. Morris has truly captured the holistic experiences of many Black digital users.
