Dear Martin by Nic Stone is a realistic fiction book that takes place in the United States. It depicts identity, racism, and adolescence through the eyes of an African American teenager named Justyce McAllister.

Plot

The novel follows Justyce McAllister, a 17-year-old black student who struggles with being a minority in his prep school. Despite the fact that he has a rough background and is different from most of the students at Braselton Prep, he becomes good friends with another black student named Manny Rivers. He also does well for himself academically and socially until one day when he gets arrested for something that wasn’t his fault because of racism. When people put him on trial without even asking what happened, it makes him feel like society doesn’t care about how hard African Americans have to work just to get by [1]
