Monster: A Graphic Novel

Description

He’s young. He’s black. And sixteen-year-old Steve Harmon is on trial for murder. A Harlem drugstore owner has been shot and killed during a robbery, and word is that Steve served as the lookout. Guilty or innocent, Steve has become a pawn in the system. He’s been called a monster, and worse. As a way of coping with the horrific events that entangle him, Steve, an amateur filmmaker, decides to transcribe his trial into a movie script. But despite his efforts, reality is blurred until he can no longer tell who he is or what is the truth.

Fans of Monster—and even kids who think they don’t like to read—and of Walter alike will devour this graphic adaptation, which is being published simultaneously in hardcover and paperback.
