The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead was Read It Forward’s book club pick of October and it really sparked a lot of discussion.
The brave, eye-opening novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida. Based on the true story of a reform school that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers.
