Artfully, compassionately, and expertly told, Dashka Slater's The 57 Bus is a must-read nonfiction book that chronicles the true story of an agender teen who was set on fire by another teen while riding a bus in Oakland, California.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo ends of the same line. Two sides of the same crime.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf it weren’t for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a Black teen, lived in the economically challenged flatlands and attended a large public one.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But one afternoon on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned, and Richard charged with two hate crimes and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight. But in The 57 Bus, award-winning journalist Dashka Slater shows that what might at first seem like a simple matter of right and wrong, justice and injustice, victim and criminal, is something more complicated―and far more heartbreaking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Accolades and Awards for The 57 Bus:\u003cbr\u003e\nA TIME Magazine Best YA Book of All Time\u003cbr\u003e\nYALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\nA Boston Globe-Horn Book Nonfiction Honor Book Winner\u003cbr\u003e\nA Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDon’t miss Dashka Slater’s newest propulsive and thought-provoking nonfiction book, Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed, the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction Winner which National Book Award winner Ibram X.
