The Nickel Boys is a historical novel by Colson Whitehead which, upon release in 2019, was instantly received as one of the greatest books of the decade. Based on the historic Dozier School for Boys, a reform school mired in a decades' long scandal of abuse and corruption, the book follows two young Black boys who try to find hope and connection while stuck inside a cruel and racist institution.
