THE HATE U GIVE BANNED BY TEXAS SCHOOL DISTRICT Angie Thomas is having quite the year. Her debut novel  The Hate U Give   debuted to widespread critical acclaim. It nabbed the number one spot on the New York Times list for young adult best-sellers and has enjoyed a comfortable 38 week stay on that list to date. It made the longlist for the National Book Award for young people’s literature and was the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner for fiction. It’s even been optioned for film adaptation.
