Anger is a gift by: Mark Oshiro
Summary: Struggling with panic attacks and grief over his father's death, high school junior Moss, in the face of a racist school administration, decides to organize a protest that escalates into violence.
Patron Review:
A beautifully written YA realistic fiction novel that covers different topics such as systemic racism, grief, family, and queer relationships.
This story follows the journey of Moss Jeffries as he navigates his struggles in life, including the death of his father and his understaffed and underfunded school where being a student feels more like being a criminal. When bad turns to worse, Moss must choose whether to give in to hate, or to fight to make a change.
