Nick Brooks

Nick Brooks is an American author of young adult fiction. His novel Promise Boys is a gripping, socially conscious thriller set in a prestigious school, following three Black and Brown boys who become suspects when their principal is found dead. Brooks combines mystery plotting with sharp commentary on racial profiling, institutional power, and the presumption of guilt that young men of colour face. His writing is fast-paced, authentic, and deeply relevant. Available as an audiobook and in print, Promise Boys appeals to young adult readers and listeners who enjoy diverse, character-driven thrillers that address real-world social issues with intelligence and urgency.
