Autor Jewell Parker Rhodes Editat de Ulrike Zanattaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2021
Der 12-jährige schwarze Schüler Jerome Rogers wird in der Schule schikaniert. Als ihm ein neuer Mitschüler eine Spielzeugpistole leiht, fühlt er sich unverwundbar - bis ihn ein Streifenpolizist damit am Straßenrand herumspielen sieht und auf ihn schießt. Jerome stirbt, beobachtet aber von nun an als Geist, wie mit seinem Tod in der Familie und auch vor Gericht umgegangen wird. Zudem stellt er bald fest, nicht der einzige »Ghost Boy« zu sein.
Ein Buch, das auch für jüngere Schüler*innen geeignet ist, um die Hintergründe der »Black Lives Matter«-Bewegung zu verstehen.

Recenzii
"This was one of my most anticipated 2018 books and I was not disappointed. A must read."—Angie Thomas, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give
* "An excellent novel that delves into the timely topic of racism... with the question of whether or not we really have come far when dealing with race relations."—School Library Connection, starred review
"In writing that's spare and powerful, Rhodes takes us into the hearts and minds of those who are left behind, and then out into a vast and luminous world where ghost boys wander among the living, pursuing their mysterious mission. Rhodes has achieved something remarkable here: a kid's-eye-view of violence and racism that balances innocence and outrage, wrenching loss and hard-won hope."—Chicago Tribune
"A timely, challenging book that's worthy of a read, further discussion, and action."—Kirkus Reviews
"[A] potent story that deserves to be read."—VOYA
"Ghost Boysis powerful in prose, and so important at this time. I hope parents will read this book to their children."—The Monitor
