Tim Lockette is a reporter, novelist and teacher of journalists. He has written for Teaching Tolerance, The Anniston (Ala.) Star and The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun, among other publications, and has done extensive reporting on Alabama's death penalty. He is the author of the middle-grade novel Atty at Law. He lives in Alabama with his family.
Like the best journalism, Tim Lockette's novel, Tell it True pulls no punches. It refuses to sugar coat the realities of being a teenager--family struggles, friendship, the feeling that you don't belong--while also challenging readers to think about what it means to have integrity in a world that often rewards looking the other way. Laugh-out-loud funny and painfully real, Tell it True asks you to see the world differently--to give a damn. --Bryan Bliss, National Book Award Long-Listed Author of We'll Fly Away
