3. "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman

Yes, can you summarize "The Hate U Give"?

"The Hate U Give" follows Starr Carter, a 16-year-old girl who witnesses the police shooting of her best friend. The story explores themes of race, identity, and activism as Starr grapples with her dual life in a poor neighborhood and a wealthy, predominantly white school. It powerfully illustrates the importance of speaking out against injustice.

That sounds powerful. Are there any other books that focus on real-life stories?

Absolutely! Here are a few non-fiction books that focus on real-life stories and promote empathy:

1. "Just Mercy" by Bryan Stevenson
