Six years ago, Moss Jefferies' father was murdered by an Oakland police officer. The media's vilification of his father and lack of accountability has left Moss with near-crippling panic attacks, as well as his grief.

Now in his junior year of high school, Moss and his fellow classmates find themselves increasingly treated like criminals in their own school. New rules. Random locker searches. Constant intimidation. Despite their youth, the students decide to organize and push back against the administration.

When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift.

A story of resilience and loss, love and family, Mark Oshiro's Anger Is a Gift testifies to the vulnerability and strength of teens today.

Isabella W. ★★★★★

I started reading it last night and couldn’t put it down—the signed bookplate makes it feel extra personal. The story hits hard from the first chapter, and the way it handles grief and injustice feels so real.

Ellie ★★★★★

I wasn't expecting the signed bookplate to be an actual physical signature, but it's real and feels personal. Moss's story about his father and the Oakland police hit hard, and the writing kept me up way too late.

Olivia I. ★★★★★

The bookplate arrived neatly tucked inside, and the signature feels personal rather than printed on. I'm halfway through and the story about Moss and the Oakland police is gripping me hard—it's the kind of read that makes you angry and hopeful at the same time.
