Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up – way up, sparking the fury of a white off-duty police officer beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it's Justyce who is under attack.

Uma história emocionante e necessária sobre juventude, racismo e esperança
Justyce McAllister é um garoto de dezessete anos com um futuro brilhante pela frente. É um dos melhores alunos de uma prestigiada escola de Atlanta, tem uma mãe amorosa e um melhor amigo incrível. No entanto, um episódio de violência policial traz à tona que a distância entre ele e seu futuro é quase um abismo. Porque Justyce McAllister é negro, e isso significa que, muitas vezes, é julgado pela cor de sua pele.
Ao ser agredido e detido injustamente, o olhar de Justyce desperta para um novo mundo, um lugar solitário em uma sociedade que insiste em vê-lo como ameaça ou como promessa de fracasso. Ele se dá conta, então, de que não pode mais fingir que não tem nada errado e decide iniciar um projeto: escrever cartas para Martin Luther King Jr., um dos mais importantes ativistas políticos pelos direitos dos negros, símbolo da luta contra a segregação racial nos Estados Unidos, morto em 1968.
Ao tentar aplicar os ensinamentos de Luther King em sua vida, Justyce começa a trilhar um caminho para entender não só como deve reagir diante das injustiças, mas que tipo de pessoa ele quer ser. Em meio a questões familiares, desentendimentos com os amigos e complicações da vida amorosa, nas cartas ele expõe suas dúvidas, sua angústia, sua revolta e a percepção clara de que a sociedade não é tão igualitária quanto deveria.
No livro de estreia de Nic Stone, vemos Justyce passar pelos desafios da adolescência, amadurecer e encarar o racismo que tanto afeta sua existência. Comovente e extremamente necessário, Cartas para Martin é um relato sobre ser um jovem negro e sobre o direito inalienável de existir. Um livro impossível de ignorar.

Courtney 'Coop' Cooper:
Dumped. Again. And normally I wouldn't mind. But right now, my best friend and source of solace, Jupiter Sanchez, is ignoring me to text some girl.
Rae Evelyn Chin:
I assumed 'new girl' would be synonymous with 'pariah', but Jupiter and Courtney make me feel like I'm right where I belong. I also want to kiss him. And her. Which is... perplexing.
Jupiter Charity-Sanchez:
The only thing worse than losing the girl you love to a boy is losing her to your boy. That means losing him too. I have to make a move...
One story. Three sides. No easy answers.
