Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But one afternoon on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned, and Richard charged with two hate crimes and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe 57 Bus\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStonewall Book Award\u003cbr\u003eYALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal \u003c\/i\u003eBest Books of 2017\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of 2017\u003cbr\u003eOne of The New York City Public Library Notable 50 Best Books for Teens\u003cbr\u003eThe California Book Awards Young Adult Winner\u003cbr\u003eAn ILA Notable Book for a Global Society\u003cbr\u003eOklahoma Sequoyah Book Award Winner \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn outstanding book that links the diversity of creed and the impact of impulsive actions to themes of tolerance and forgiveness. --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis painful story illuminates, cautions, and inspires. --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDashka Slater\u003c\/b\u003e has written many books, including \u003ci\u003eBaby Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Sea Serpent and Me\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a Junior Library Guild Selection, Escargot, and \u003ci\u003eDangerously Ever After\u003c\/i\u003e.
