A New York Times bestsellerA William C. Morris Award Finalist "Should be required reading in every classroom." --Nic Stone, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin
"A true love letter to Los Angeles." --Brandy Colbert, award-winning author of Little & Lion
"A brilliantly poetic take on one of the most defining moments in Black American history." --Tiffany D. Jackson, author of Grown and Monday's Not Coming Perfect for fans of The Hate U Give, this unforgettable coming-of-age debut novel explores issues of race, class, and violence through the eyes of a wealthy black teenager whose family gets caught in the vortex of the 1992 Rodney King Riots. Los Angeles, 1992 Ashley Bennett and her friends are living the charmed life. 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?

Our kid ordered this behind our back
Format: Hardcover
Well funny story…Our 5 year old actually ordered this without us knowing. He loves fgteev and so does his older brother. It had already shipped by the time we noticed (which was impressive because it was only maybe an hour later it shipped out) so we were all ready to give him a talking to and send it back when it arrived. Well that prime shipping was fast but still gave us time to think it over and give him a way to earn this book, as well as have a long talk about how you definitely don’t get on your parents phone and “buy” things. I guess there are worse things he could have ordered and he is passionate about reading at his young age and found a way to do chores around the house to earn it. Needless to say we do not let him use our phones anymore but this was a fun book to read and is a lot more tolerable than actually watching or listening to our kids watch fgteev. Also, be careful 5 year olds can be scary smart. I do not know how he even knew how to go through with searching for and ordering this book all within maybe 5 minutes of “playing a game on daddy’s phone” lol

If your child loves FGTEEV, this book is a MUST HAVE!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Our 8 yr old has been an FGTeeV fan since he was 3!
And as a mother of boys that love YouTube, I can say that this channel/family is just all around awesome. I love how family orientated they are, you can feel the love & respect they have for each other.
They’re not as annoying for us parents as some of the other channels (if you know, you know!)
So when our son wants a book, we buy it! He has the whole collection now! He rereads them all the time.
We also have the activity book on preorder.
The books are all set up in comic style. So when our son was learning how to read, this made it entertaining for him & easy to digest.
There’s a lot of lingo that is based off of FGTeeV’s YouTube channel.
I can’t tell you what they’re about, but our son is constantly entertained & proud to show us what is going on in the books.
The graphics are a great representation of the family, who are the main characters on YouTube channel & the book… including the dog Oreo!
I wish more YouTubers focused on books like this for children. It’s great way to get them off the iPad & get their brains & imagination running!
