Written by Nic Stone

Dear Martin is a story about a really good kid from a tough neighborhood. He always tries to do what is right and be kind. With the many people in his neighborhood trying to get him to be bad, this is not easy. The police also do not care that he is a good kid doing the right thing.

My aunt recommended this book to me, and I loved it.  I was very upset by much of what happened to the main character just because of the color of his skin. This is something that we lately see all the time on the news.
