But when a white man is killed, his death is pinned on their "gang." Rebecca Kuss, senior editor at Disney-Hyperion, said that she "was shocked and ecstatic at how quickly" she was swept away "by the voice, the characters, the worldbuilding." Kuss, who won the title "in a very competitive auction," said Adia's novel "not only made 15-year-old me feel seen and understood, but also empowered present-day me." There Goes the Neighborhood is a gripping and comedic contemporary story that should appeal to fans of Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give or Christina Hammonds Reed's The Black Kids. Jade Adia's YA debut is a darkly droll thriller about three best friends from South L.A., Calif., who create a fake gang on social media to scare away gentrifying developers.
