Bøger af Angie Thomas

16-årige, Starr, er eneste vidne til, at hendes ubevæbnede ven, Khalil, bliver skudt og dræbt af en hvid politimand. Indtil nu har Starr balanceret mellem det sorte lokalmiljø, hvor hun bor, og den finere privatskole i forstaden, som hun går på. Men da nedskydningen af Khalil bliver forsidestof over hele landet, er hun nødt til at beslutte, om og hvordan hun vil råbe op, særligt da nogle af hendes venner på skolen antyder, at Khalil selv var ude om det.

A powerful and brave YA novel about what prejudice looks like in the 21st century.

Den længe ventede 2?er fra Angie Thomas, hvis stærke debut The Hate U Give blev en international bestseller, som også er blevet filmatiseret. 16-årige Bri er fast besluttet på at blive en af tidens ­allerstørste rappere. Eller i det mindste vinde sit første rap­-battle. Som datter af en legendarisk undergrundsrapper, der døde lige før sit store gennembrud, har hun et par store sko at fylde ud. Men det er svært at ­komme fri af ghettoen og opnå respekt og succes, når man ­samtidig skal kæmpe mod folks fordomme. Og det gør det ikke nemmere, at køleskabet derhjemme er tomt, fordi ens mor er blevet arbejdsløs. Så Bris første sang bliver fuld af vrede og frustration, og sangen går viralt - men af helt forkerte grunde ? En fortælling om at kæmpe for sine drømme - imod alle odds. Og om at være tro mod sig selv og ikke give efter for hverken fordomme eller forventninger.

The irresistible blockbuster YA romance of summer 2021 by six of the biggest voices in YA. Perfect for fans of Jenny Han, Netflix's Let it Snow and Bolu Babalola's Love in Colour.

Alle wollen wissen: Was ist in dieser Nacht wirklich passiert? Und die einzige lebende Person, die diese Frage beantworten kann, ist Starr.Aber was Starr tut - oder nicht tut - könnte ihre Welt erschüttern. Und es könnte ihr Leben gefährden.
