In honor of MLK Day on Monday, I bring you this excerpt from Dear Martin, written by Nic Stone and read to you by Nic Stone!
In Dear Martin, main character Justyce McAllister is a good kid, an honor student, and always there to help a friend—but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. Despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can't escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates, so Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out.
