Nick Brooks's Promise Boys is a trailblazing, blockbuster YA mystery about three teen boys of colour who must investigate their principal’s murder to clear their own names. For fans of Angie Thomas, Jason Reynolds, and Karen McManus.
The Urban Promise Prep School vows to turn boys into men. As students, J.B., Ramón, and Trey are forced to follow the prestigious "program's" strict rules. Extreme discipline, they’ve been told, is what it takes to be college bound, to avoid the fates of many men in their neighborhoods. This, the Principal Moore Method, supposedly saves lives.
But when Moore ends up murdered and the cops come sniffing around, the trio emerges as the case's prime suspects. With all three maintaining their innocence, they must band together to track down the real killer before they are arrested. But is the true culprit hiding among them?
This gripping thriller shines a glaring light on how the system too often condemns Black and Latinx teen boys to failure before they’ve even had a chance at success.
'Thrilling . . . Promise Boys will stay with you long after the last page' – Karen M. McManus, author of One of Us Is Lying
"Editor's Choice - Both an astonishingly tense thriller as well as a critique of the charter school system" - The Bookseller
"If there is a book to fall in love with next year I promise you that it's Promise Boys by Nick Brooks. A YA Thriller, three Black and Brown boys as the protagonists, a page-turner and the voice of every character is brilliant." - Author of the Emily Knight series and The Very Merry Murder Club
"This smart, tense thriller takes a sharp look at how American society treats boys of colour." - The Guardian
"An explosive YA novel that finds three students at a super strict prep school being investigated for the murder of the institution's principal." - Cosmopolitan
