Waterstones Children's Book Prize-winning author
New York Times #1 bestselling author
The highly anticipated second novel from Angie Thomas returns to the world of Garden Heights for a powerful story about hip hop, freedom of speech - and fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you.
Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill. But when her first song goes viral for all the wrong reasons, Bri finds herself at the centre of controversy and portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. And with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it - she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.
This book is amazing!! I completely devoured it. Angie Thomas is the queen of contemporary novels. She can make a family sitting around the table playing a game of Uno the most entertaining thing ever. Her novels have incredible messages, relatable characters, and are straight up HILARIOUS. Dialogue is so real and on point. I love her to pieces. I was so worried she'd be a one-hit wonder but nope, this girl is here to STAY and I am here for it all! *heart eye emoji*
