About this product

Product Information

A New York Times Bestseller This was one of my most anticipated 2018 books and I was not disappointed. A must read. -Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give 'tender, timely ... surprising and hopeful' - Observer A heartbreaking and powerful story about a black boy killed by a white police officer, drawing connections with real-life, from award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes. ALIVE Twelve-year-old Jerome doesn't get into trouble. He goes to school. He does his homework. He takes care of his little sister. Then Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. DEAD As a ghost, watching his family trying to cope with his death, Jerome begins to notice other ghost boys. Each boy has a story and they all have something in common... Bit by bit, Jerome begins to understand what really happened - not just to him, but to all of the ghost boys. A poignant and gripping story about how children and families face the complexities of race and racism in today's world.

Buy it, read it, discuss it
This is a very good book dealing with a heart breaking subject in a very considerate manner. You get to think about the shooting of young black boys from different perspectives. I recommend the book for children of 11 upwards, bearing in mind that it could have a disturbing effect on them if not discussed before or during the read. It's an interesting book for adult too. Very sad.

My 12 year old son absolutely loves this book.
My 12 year old son absolutely loves this book. He took the book on his school trip (where he never gets to read) and came back having read almost a third of it. He is very eager to discuss anything he read in the book and finds it quite eye opening.

This is a very gripping book, it pulls you in and you need to keep reading to find out what happened. Well written, very American but does enlighten the reader on bullying
