Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive shoes to fill. But it’s hard to get your come up when you’re labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral . . . for all the wrong reasons.
Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy, portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri doesn’t just want to make it—she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.
Insightful, unflinching, and full of heart, On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn’t always free.
“For all the struggle in this book, Thomas rarely misses a step as a writer. Thomas continues to hold up that mirror with grace and confidence. We are lucky to have her, and lucky to know a girl like Bri.”—The New York Times Book Review
Hear about more of life in Garden Heights from Angie Thomas in The Hate U Give and Concrete Rose.

As a white woman I know I will never fully be able to comprehend what it’s like to be a young black woman today, what kind of unwritten rules keep whole generations from following and achieving their true dreams. But both of Thomas’ books has given me an insight into that world. She explains and puts light on patterns and vicious circles that we all need to work together in order to change. And all the while creating characters that are believable and complex, I really love Bree, her family and all her friends!

Helt underbar och fantastisk bra berättar röst!!! Många tänkvärda o sorgliga situationer berättas, men ännu fler snabba och roliga repliker strör guldstjärnor på denna bok.
