It's the end of senior year and they're spending more time at the beach than in the classroom. They can already feel the sunny days and endless possibilities of summer. Everything changes one afternoon in April, when four LAPD officers are acquitted after beating a black man named Rodney King half to death. Suddenly, Ashley's not just one of the girls. She's one of the black kids. As violent protests engulf LA and the city burns, Ashley tries to continue on as if life were normal. Even as her self-destructive sister gets dangerously involved in the riots. Even as the model black family façade her wealthy and prominent parents have built starts to crumble. Even as her best friends help spread a rumor that could completely derail the future of her classmate and fellow black kid, LaShawn Johnson. With her world splintering around her, Ashley, along with the rest of LA, is left to question who is the us? And who is the them?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 14 and up $b Thorndike Press. 521 $a Grades 7-9 $b Thorndike Press. 650 0 $a Race relations $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Rodney King Riots, Los Angeles, Calif., 1992 $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a High schools $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Schools $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF6E613A673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
