"The full-cast narration helps the listener track the extensive collection of characters in this whodunit....Musical accompaniment is peppered throughout the production as well, adding to its overall polished production and thrilling atmosphere."—Booklist
"A brilliant pulls-no-punches mystery with bruised hearts at its core."—Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of They Both Die at the End
"Thrilling, captivating, and blade-sharp. Promise Boys will stay with you long after the last page."—Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying
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?
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
Kritikerstimmen
"A sharp examination of systematic inequality in urban schools and Black and Latine boyhood. Breathtakingly complex and intriguing."—Kirkus, starred review
"The path to manhood has never felt more ominous than it does in PROMISE BOYS. I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out if I was reading a story about boys becoming men or boys becoming killers—you will be too. A brilliant pulls-no-punches mystery with bruised hearts at its core."—Adam Silvera, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of They Both Die at the End
"There's nothing like a book that manages to flawlessly thread subtle social commentary through a propulsive plot carried by complex characters. Promise Boys does that ten times over, and I can't wait to see this expertly crafted mystery take the world over... while teaching us a thing or two about what it means to be a boy of color in 21st century America."—Nic Stone, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Dear Martin
