Book description
The trade paperback edition of the highly buzzed about YA debut from Mark Oshiro, Anger Is a Gift follows a boy from Oakland as he falls in love amidst the chaos of modern America. *31st Annual Lammy Finalist for LGBTQ Children's/Young Adult category**2019 ALA Schneider Family Book Award Teen Winner**Buzzfeed's 24 Best YA Books of 2018**Vulture's 38 Best LGBTQ YA Novels**Book Riot's Best Books 2018**Hyable's Most Anticipated Queer YA Books of 2018**The Mary Sue's 18 Books You Should Read in 2018* Moss Jeffries is many things--considerate student, devoted son, loyal friend and affectionate boyfriend, enthusiastic nerd. But sometimes Moss still wishes he could be someone else--someone without panic attacks, someone whose father was still alive, someone who hadn't become a rallying point for a community because of one horrible night. And most of all, he wishes he didn't feel so stuck. Moss can't even escape at school--he and his friends are subject to the lack of funds and crumbling infrastructure at West Oakland High, as well as constant intimidation by the resource officer stationed in their halls. That was even before the new regulations--it seems sometimes that the students are treated more like criminals. Something will have to change--but who will listen to a group of teens? When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes again, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift.

Finally, an app that lets me enjoy my personal audiobooks, lectures, and speeches effortlessly. Adjusting the narrator's voice tone is a fun way to personalize the listening experience. I'm impressed with the wide range of supported formats. Finally, an app that plays all my audiobooks flawlessly. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and this one stands out for its professional quality. The narrator struck the ideal balance between dramatic interpretation and letting the text speak for itself. The audio engineering was superb with consistent volume levels and crystal-clear recording. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
