Jay, considered white in an allwhiteschool, is starting to get acceptances (and rejections) from colleges and finds out whileplaying video games that Jun, with whom he corresponded for years via 'actual letters—not emailor texts or DMs,' is dead. His Filipino father doesn't want to talk about it, but his North Americanmother reveals that Jun was using drugs. Jay blames his uncle, a police chief, for his murder afterresearching the dictatorship of Rodrigo Duterte (the book includes a handy author's note and a listof articles and websites), who has sanctioned and perpetrated the killing of between 12,000 and20,000 drug addicts by police and vigilantes since 2016. Jay, armed with his stack of letters,returns to Manila to search for the truth. Ribay weaves in Jun's letters so readers witness Jun'squestions and his attempts to reconcile the inequity around him with his faith. Jay follows Jun'sfootsteps into the slums of Manila, the small house of his activist aunts, and the Catholic parish ofhis uncle, a village priest, and learns painful truths about his family, his home country, and himself.VERDICT Part mystery, part elegy, part coming of age, this novel is a perfect convergence ofauthentic voice and an emphasis on inner dialogue around equity, purpose, and reclaiming one'slost cultural identity.—Sara Lissa Paulson, City-As-School High School, New York City Readmore Longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People 2019 An Amazon BestBook of the Year So FarA Junior Library Guild audio selection FIVE STARRED REVIEWSÂ'Powerful and courageous.' --Kirkus Reviews, starred review'Deep, nuanced, and painfullyreal.' --Booklist, starred review'A perfect convergence of authentic voice and an emphasison inner dialogue.' --School Library Journal, starred review'Passionately and fearlessly,Ribay delves into matters of justice, grief, and identity.' --Publishers Weekly,starred review'Compelling and informational' --VOYA Magazine, starred review “Amust-read.― – Erin Entrada Kelly, author of 2018 Newbery Award-winningHello, Universe “Lyrical.
