About this product

The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead is a fiction novel published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Set in 1960s Florida, it follows Elwood Curtis, a Black teenager wrongfully sentenced to the Nickel Academy, a brutal reform school operating under Jim Crow laws. Through his friendship with Turner, Elwood grapples with ideals of justice versus survival in a system designed to break him. The story draws from real events, reflecting on institutional cruelty and racial injustice. This National Bestseller and Pulitzer Prize-winning follow-up to The Underground Railroad showcases Whitehead’s powerful narrative voice and deep historical insight.
