Com a filla d''una llegenda del rap que va morir massa aviat, la Bri té un gran repte al davant. Però ara que la seva mare ha perdut inesperadament la feina, els bancs d''aliments, els deutes i els avisos de desnonament han passat a formar part de la vida de la Bri, tant com els ritmes i les rimes.

Ou, pelo menos, ganhar sua primeira batalha. Filha de uma lenda do hip-hop underground que teve o sucesso interrompido pela morte prematura, Bri carrega o peso dessa herança. Mas é difícil ter a segurança de estrear quando se é hostilizada na escola e, desde que sua mãe perdeu o emprego, os armários e a geladeira estão vazios. Então, Bri transforma toda sua ira em uma primeira canção que viraliza... pelos piores motivos! No centro de uma controvérsia, a menina é reportada pela mídia como uma grande ameaça à sociedade. Mas com uma ordem de despejo ameaçando sua família, ela não tem outra escolha a não ser assumir os rótulos que a opinião pública lhe impôs. Na hora da virada dá aos leitores de Angie Thomas outra protagonista pela qual torcer. É uma história sobre lutar por seus sonhos e também sobre a dificuldade de ser quem você é, não quem as pessoas querem que você seja.

Bri ha sedici anni e un sogno: diventare una dei più grandi rapper di tutti i tempi. Come figlia della leggenda dell''hip hop underground morta poco prima di raggiungere l''apice della fama, Bri ha una pesante eredità con cui confrontarsi. E tentare la scalata al successo quando tutti a scuola ti considerano una criminale e a casa il frigorifero è sempre vuoto perché tua madre ha perso il lavoro può risultare più difficile del previsto. Bri riversa tutta la rabbia e la frustrazione nei suoi versi, e quando la sua prima canzone diventa virale per tutte le ragioni più sbagliate, lei viene etichettata dai media come una minaccia. Ma trovarsi nell''occhio del ciclone quando la tua famiglia ha appena ricevuto una notifica di sfratto potrebbe essere l''unica e irripetibile occasione per emergere (e fare qualche soldo). Anche se questo vuol dire rinunciare a te stesso e accettare l''immagine che il pubblico ti ha cucito addosso. Acuto, coraggioso e ricco di emozioni, On the Come Up è l''ode all''hip hop di una delle voci più influenti di un''intera generazione, una storia sull''importanza di combattere sempre per i propri sogni, anche quando tutto sembra essere contro di noi.

«Esta historia es necesaria. Esta historia es importante.» Kirkus Reviews STARR ES UNA CHICA DE DIECISÉIS AÑOS que vive entre dos mundos: el barrio pobre de gente negra donde nació, y su escuela situada en un elegante distrito residencial blanco. El difícil equilibrio entre ambos se hace añicos cuando ella se convierte en testigo de la muerte a tiros de su mejor amigo, Khalil, a manos de un policía. A partir de ese momento, todo lo que Starr diga acerca de la aterradora noche que cambió su vida podrá ser usado de excusa por unos y como arma por otros. Y lo peor de todo es que ambos bandos esperan que dé un paso en falso para poner fin a su vida. Inspirado por el movimiento Black Lives Matter, el debut de Angie Thomas sobre una chica normal sometida a tan difíciles circunstancias aborda cuestiones de racismo y violencia policial con inteligencia, corazón y una honestidad inquebrantable. «Angie Thomas ha escrito una novela asombrosa, brillante y desgarradora que será recordada como un clásico de nuestro tiempo.» John Green, autor de Bajo la misma estrella «Que el mundo se prepare.» Adam Silvera, autor de More Happy than Not

Starr tem 16 anos e move-se entre dois mundos: o seu bairro periférico e problemático, habitado por negros como ela, e a escola que frequenta numa elegante zona residencial de brancos. O frágil equilíbrio entre estas duas realidades é quebrado quando Starr se torna a única testemunha do disparo fatal de um polícia contra Khalil, o seu melhor amigo. A partir daí, pairam sobre Starr ameaças de morte: tudo o que ela disser acerca do crime que presenciou pode ser usado a seu favor por uns, mas sobretudo como arma por outros. O Ódio que Semeias é um poderoso romance juvenil, inspirado pelo movimento Black Lives Matter e pela luta contra a discriminação e a violência. O livro está a ser adaptado ao cinema e conta com Amandla Stenberg no papel principal.

Un romanzo importante. Una voce straordinariamente autentica. Un travolgente caso editoriale che ha meritato la prima pagina del New York Times. Starr si muove tra due mondi: abita in un quartiere di colore dove imperversano le gang ma frequenta una scuola prestigiosa, soprattutto per volere della madre, determinata a costruire un futuro migliore per i suoi figli. Vive quasi una doppia vita, a metà tra gli amici di infanzia e i nuovi compagni. Questo fragile equilibrio va in frantumi quando Starr assiste all''uccisione di Khalil, il suo migliore amico, per mano della polizia. Ed era disarmato. Il caso conquista le prime pagine dei giornali. C''è chi pensa che Khalil fosse un poco di buono, perfino uno spacciatore, il membro di una gang, e che, in fin dei conti, se lo sia meritato. Quando appare chiaro che la polizia non ha alcun interesse a chiarire l''episodio, la protesta scende in strada e il quartiere di Starr si trasforma in teatro di guerriglia. C''è una cosa che tutti vogliono sapere: cos''è successo davvero quella notte? Ma l''unica che possa dare una risposta è Starr. Quello che dirà - o non dirà - può distruggere la sua comunità. Può mettere in pericolo la sua vita stessa. Una giovane esordiente che negli Stati Uniti da 26 settimane è in testa alle classifiche. 16 ristampe, oltre 200.000 copie. "THE HATE U GIVE è un capolavoro." The Huffington Post "Non ci sono risposte facili in questo romanzo. Ma è questo che lascia a bocca aperta... vi farà pensare anche molto dopo che lo avrete finito, e con il desiderio di discutere di ciò che avrete trovato tra le sue pagine. Solo i libri migliori ne sono capaci." Barnes & Noble Teen "Fidatevi del clamore: THE HATE U GIVE, il debutto audace e straordinario di Angie Thomas, è proprio bello come dicono." The Christian Science Monitor "Una prosa scorrevole eppure potente che attraverso la voce naturale ed empatica di Starr ci presenta personaggi ricchi di sfumature, dinamiche di relazione intricate, realistiche. Questo romanzo trascinerà i lettori a prendere parte per Starr, ad aprire il proprio cuore ai suoi amici e alla sua famiglia. Una storia necessaria. Una storia importante." Kirkus Reviews "Ben scritto, attraverso la voce autentica di Starr, ritrae con mirabile verosimiglianza e profondità due mondi che collidono. Un romanzo innegabilmente importante, che merita il più ampio pubblico possibile." Booklist "Con passo fermo, la Thomas bilancia scene drammatiche di violenza e di proteste nelle strade con momenti di riflessione... Starr, la sua famiglia, gli abitanti del suo quartiere sono ritratti con toccante realismo e affetto." School Library Journal "Un romanzo potente, audace." The Horn Book

Uma história juvenil repleta de choques de realidade. Um livro necessário em tempos tão cruéis e extremos. Starr aprendeu com os pais, ainda muito nova, como uma pessoa negra deve se comportar na frente de um policial. Quando ela e seu amigo, Khalil, são parados por uma viatura, tudo o que Starr espera é que Khalil também conheça essas regras. Um movimento errado, uma suposição, e os tiros disparam. De repente, o amigo de infância dela está no chão, coberto de sangue. Morto. Em luto, indignada com a injustiça tão explícita que presenciou e vivendo em duas realidades tão distintas, estudando em uma escola de brancos de classe alta e, depois, voltando para a periferia de maioria negra, Starr precisa descobrir a sua voz. Angie Thomas, em uma narrativa muito dinâmica, divertida, mas ainda assim, direta e firme, fala de racismo de uma forma nova para jovens leitores. Este é um livro que não se pode ignorar.
