Colson Whitehead dramatizes a strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in 1960s Florida in this month's book.
From Goodreads:
"Based on the history of a real reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped and destroyed the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative by a great American novelist whose work is essential to understanding the current reality of the United States."
