The Final Smackdown!

This final vote was a tough one. I enjoyed reading all three books, although for 3 very different reasons.  My Smackdown vote goes to The Hate You Give.  When I think of the privileged teenagers that live in my own home, this is the book I hope they will read.  My dream is that they stop, pause and think, just for a minute, about what it is like to live in someone else’s shoes.
