Beschreibung

<b>Bryan Stevenson's incredible fight to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality comes to life in this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1<i> New York Times</i> bestseller that was made into a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson.</b><br><br>In this very personal work—adapted from the original #1 bestseller, which the <i>New York Times</i> calls "as compelling as <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i>, and in some ways more so"—acclaimed lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom.<br><br>Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society—the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice.<br><br><b>A <i>KIRKUS REVIEWS </i>BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><b>A <i>BOOKLIST </i>EDITORS' CHOICE</b><br><b>FEATURED ON <i>CBS THIS MORNING</i></b><br><b>A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR</b><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR <i>JUST MERCY: A TRUE STORY OF THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE</i>:</b><br>"It's <b>really exciting</b> that young people are getting a version tailored for them." —<i>Salon</i><br><br>* "A <b>deeply moving </b>collage of true stories. . . .
