Why read it?
1 author picked Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A gripping collage of moving stories of the poor, the wrongly convicted, and the marginalized, and Bryan Stevensonās efforts to fight for their freedom. In this compelling Young Adult edition, Stevenson engages readers with his riveting storytelling. The author, who won relief for dozens of condemned prisoners, makes complicated legal issues understandable for young people. I picked this book because I believe every student should read it to understand the American judicial system. Many will find Bryan Stevenson so inspiring that they want to follow in Stevensonās footsteps.
From Fern's list on making āgood troubleā.
