Instant New York Times bestseller From award-winning author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform activist Yusef Salaam of the Exonerated Five comes a powerful YA novel in verse about a boy who is wrongfully incarcerated. Perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds, Walter Dean Myers, and Elizabeth Acevedo.

The story that I thought

was my life

didn't start on the day

I was born

Amal Shahid has always been an artist and a poet. But even in a diverse art school, he's seen as disruptive and unmotivated by a biased system. Then one fateful night, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. "Boys just being boys" turns out to be true only when those boys are white.

The story that I think

will be my life

starts today

Suddenly, at just sixteen years old, Amal's bright future is upended: he is convicted of a crime he didn't commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it?

With spellbinding lyricism, award-winning author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform activist Yusef Salaam tell a moving and deeply profound story about how one boy is able to maintain his humanity and fight for the truth, in a system designed to strip him of both.

Good protection, water resistant
Size: Pack of 1
I love their products. This is no exception. Used it recently in the Caribbean and Florida. Did a great job of protecting my lips and also seemed to have some resistance to washing off when I was swimming or snorkeling.

This lip balm has worked well for me overall
Size: Pack of 1
This lip balm has worked well for me overall. It does what I want from an SPF lip balm and I have not had any major complaints using it. The only minor downside is that it is a little soft, so when you first start using a tube you may notice a few small chunks on your lips. That has not been a big enough issue to bother me much, but it is worth mentioning. Aside from that, it has been a good product and I would keep using it.

Feels great, no taste, no white cast
Size: Pack of 1
I tried this after reading the great reviews, and because the 3-pack was so reasonably priced. I love this stuff! My new favorite lip balm. It goes on smooth, not shiny, not chalky or white, has no scent or noticeable flavor (NOT MINT, YAY!), not sticky, and it seems to stay on well. I will definitely be ordering this product again!

No need to reapply as often
Size: Pack of 1
I don’t have to reapply as often as I did with the better known brands. Works well.
