Snitchers

Nia Barnes is preparing to enter high school and trying to stay on her mama’s good side. Life in her small Midwestern city hasn’t been the same since her father’s unsolved murder, driving Nia’s love of detective novels and true crime stories.

When the little boy she babysits is caught in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting, Nia and her best friends Dontay and Miracle Ruth secretly set out to get him justice. They look up police reports and listen to the conversations of their elders; they try to follow suspects the way Nia’s favorite teen detectives might.

But the search for truth isn’t straightforward, especially when you’re somewhere between being kids and adults, and people want peace but are afraid to talk.

Writer and filmmaker Stephane Dunn makes her YA debut with this endearing, heart-wrenching novel about loss, truth, and the reality of violence in communities everywhere.
