The 57 Bus: A True Story of Two Teenagers and the Crime That Changed Their Lives

By Dashka Slater. In 2013, Oakland teenager Sasha Fleischman was set on fire on the bus on their way home from school -- by another teenager, Richard Thomas, who lived at the opposite end of the 57 line from Sasha. Slater investigated in a New York Times Magazine piece from 2015 that became the book, which won the Stonewall Book Award and was a YALSA-ALA finalist for Excellence In Young Adult Nonfiction. A somewhat down-at-heel hardcover: nicks and edgewear to the jacket, plus a handful of crunched pages inside. but the pages are clean and it's perfectly readable, at a nice price.
