Read this:  Credit: epicreads In this prequel to The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas explores the life of Starr's father, Maverick Carter, when he was just a 17-year-old kid growing up in Garden Heights. Mav thinks he has it all figured out: he has a girl, his gang friends, and a side drug hustle to make a little cash. But when he finds out he's a father, his world turns upside down. Suddenly, his Friday nights are filled with dirty diapers and chores instead of parties and football games. With his new responsibilities, Maverick must make difficult choices to balance being both a father and a teen, learning lessons about manhood along the way. Set with the backdrop of the '90s, this book is an engrossing read with captivating characters you can't help but root for. Get your copy. —Shyla Watson
