All American Boys
All American Boys is a story about a teenage boy named Rashad that was beaten by a police officer because Rashad had accidently tripped on a white lady. The police officer assumed that Rashad had done this on purpose because Rashad was black. While Rashad did try to explain that it was an accident the police officer wouldn’t listen to him. The officer took Rashad outside and started to beat him while he was handcuffed. This novel not only talks about racism but also about police brutality and other issues. This book is manly for young adults and is a very interesting topic to talk about with a person that is very passionate about fixing many issues in society. I don’t want to spoil the book so if you want to know the rest of the story you must read it for yourself.

This is a good start to your summary - but what about the other main character? You didn't mention that Quinn also tells the story from his perspective, which is pretty important.
