I did not know what I was getting into when I started this book. I love reading non-fiction and look at awards lists to provide me with the best options. The 57 Bus was on these lists for good reason. I was unaware of the tragic incident on the bus in Oakland California in November 2013. Dashka Slater did an impeccable job researching and relating the stories of the lives of all those affected from that huge, adolescent mistake. This book reignited my fire for juvenile justice reform and sparked a big interest in restorative justice. There was a lot to learn from the people and their stories: There are dire consequences to our actions. Think before you act, folks. Speak your truth and love who you are.
