Riassunto:

**This young adult novel won the American Library Association Top Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers Award.** Violence runs rampant on the urban streets of Washington, DC, and on one seemingly quiet day, the Odom family finds its world destroyed when seventeen-year-old Tashera is brutally attacked by a group of high school girls. Retaliation exposes the corrupting existence of violence in our communities and the retaliatory measures families go through to protect themselves and their children. 17 year old Tashera is a hero in her own right. She does what many African American teens do every day, she rises above her circumstances. *** Librarians, Middle School and High School Students, Boys and Girls Clubs, After School programs across the United States use Retaliation in talking to their students about youth violence.
