There's something about Ella. She watches a classmate mature into a kind nurse. In a drive-by shooting, the son of a neighbor was killed. Things that are yet to occur. Born inside a burning Los Angeles, Kev's mission is to shield his sister from a force capable of destroying her. However, Ella will have to make a decision about what it means to see her brother suffer while in possession of the power to destroy entire cities once Kev is put behind bars.
Riot Baby is both a personal family tale and a worldwide dystopian story, rooted on the optimism that can survive in rage. It has quietly terrible things to say about love, rage, and the black experience in America, and it burns fearlessly toward revolution.
Both Ella and Kev are incredibly strong and surprisingly human. Racism defines and destroys their childhoods. The world might change in their futures.
