Nearly 3 Million Copies Sold · 8 starred reviews · William C. Morris Award Winner · National Book Award Longlist · Printz Honor Book · Coretta Scott King Honor Book · #1 New York Times Bestseller "Simply beautiful to read. The Hate U Give is an outstanding debut novel and says more about the contemporary black experience in America than any book I have read for years, fiction or non-fiction." - Alex Wheatle, The Guardian In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. A phenomenal #1 bestseller that became a symbol for a searing moment in the fight for justice in America, The Hate U Give is a heartrending, boldly original, unforgettable chronicle of a vital chapter in our nation''s story--and has cemented Angie Thomas''s place as one of her generation''s most important writers. Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend, Khalil, at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil''s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: What really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does--or does not--say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.

In einer Welt, in der nicht alles so ist, wie es scheint, ist es nicht leicht, die Auserwählte zu sein ... Die 12-jährige Nic Blake lebt inzwischen mit ihrer Familie in der fantastischen Stadt Uhuru. An ihren neuen Alltag gewöhnt sie sich jedoch nur langsam – zu viel ist neu und zu groß die Angst, dass jemand hinter ihr Geheimnis kommen könnte. Tatsächlich verfolgt sie bald eine unbekannte Person, die für ihr Schweigen eine Bezahlung in Form eines verlorenen Buchs fordert. Nic versucht alles, um es an sich zu bringen. Doch das Buch hat eine Geschichte. Und als Nic sie nach und nach erfährt, stellt sie die Welt der Ungewöhnlichen immer mehr in Frage ... Der zweite Band der grandiosen Fantasy-Reihe von Bestsellerautorin Angie Thomas für Kinder ab 10 Alle lieferbaren Bände der Nic Blake-Reihe: Nic Blake – Die Prophezeiung der leuchtenden Welt (Band 01) Nic Blake – Die Macht des verlorenen Buchs (Band 02)

The highly anticipated sequel to the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy—a boldly original and suspenseful fantasy adventure by one of the most popular and imaginative voices of this generation, Angie Thomas. All of Nic’s dreams have come true. After years of living in hiding as a Remarkable in the Unremarkable world, she now has everything she’d ever wanted: certified hero status, a big family and a real home in the hidden city of Uhuru, and a chance to develop her Gift at a school for young Manifestors like her. So life is perfect, right? Not quite. Her-favorite-author-turned-vengeful-outcast wants to destroy her. Then there’s the terrifying secret prophecy that still threatens Nic’s future, and the dangerous new power she seems to have—one she cannot control. And that’s all before she encounters a cult of mysterious Manifestors who threaten to reveal the truth about her power and prophecy unless Nic delivers to them a legendary artifact, the Book of Anansi. There’s just one small complication: No one knows if it still exists, or where it could be hidden. Nic now has only her twin brother, Alex, and her best friend, JP, to rely on as she makes a desperate attempt to uncover one of the Remarkable world’s oldest mysteries—and hold on to the home and family she has been searching for her entire life.

Oggi è un giorno speciale. È il mio dodicesimo compleanno e finalmente papà mi insegnerà a usare il Dono. Non è facile essere una Straordinaria in esilio nel mondo degli Ordinari; nessuno lo sa meglio di Nichole (Nic) Blake. Essere custode del Dono avrà dei lati positivi, come ricevere un cucciolo magico per il compleanno, ma anche negativi, tipo dover nascondere al tuo migliore amico quello che sei davvero. Tanto più che Nic non sa ancora quali siano i suoi reali poteri. Prima che abbia il tempo di capirlo, un incontro imprevisto la catapulterà in un vortice di eventi che metteranno in discussione tutto ciò che sa e ha sempre saputo. In un crescendo di colpi di scena, si troverà a inseguire la leggendaria Msaidizi, un oggetto magico in grado di riportare l''ordine in un mondo imprevedibile, minacciato da nemici astuti e terribilmente agguerriti. Mutaforma, Giganti, Vampiri, Maghi e Veggenti sono solo alcune delle creature che Nic dovrà imparare ad affrontare (e in molti casi a temere), in compagnia di due preziosi alleati, ragazzi che come lei si trovano in bilico tra due mondi... "Tutta la forza che ti aspetti da Angie Thomas: una trama avvincente, personaggi perfetti, e vere sfide che interessano davvero ai ragazzi. E poi c''è la magia! Questo è uno di quei rari libri che diventano immediatamente il migliore amico di cui avevi bisogno e non lo sapevi. Nic Blake. La profezia dell''Incantatore è un vero e proprio capolavoro. A quando il seguito?" - Rick Riordan, autore di Percy Jackson e gli dei dell''Olimpo.

Internationally bestselling superstar author Angie Thomas makes her middle grade debut with the launch of an inventive, hilarious, and suspenseful new contemporary fantasy trilogy inspired by African American history and folklore. It’s not easy being a Remarkable in the Unremarkable world. Some things are cool—like getting a pet hellhound for your twelfth birthday. Others, not so much—like not being trusted to learn magic because you might use it to take revenge on an annoying neighbor. All Nic Blake wants is to be a powerful Manifestor like her dad. But before she has a chance to convince him to teach her the gift, a series of shocking revelations and terrifying events launch Nic and two friends on a hunt for a powerful magic tool she’s never heard of...to save her father from imprisonment for a crime she refuses to believe he committed.

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.

“Itu sebabnya orang-orang bicara, kan? Karena keadaan tidak akan berubah kalau kita tidak mengatakan apa-apa?” Starr Carter, gadis kulit hitam berusia enam belas tahun, hidup di antara dua dunia berbeda. Lingkungan kumuh tempatnya lahir lalu tumbuh besar, dan SMA bergengsi di pinggiran kota tempatnya bersekolah. Keseimbangan dua dunia yang mati-matian ia jaga itu hancur berantakan ketika Starr menjadi satu-satunya saksi dari tragedi penembakan sahabatnya, Khalil, oleh seorang polisi. Padahal saat itu Khalil tidak bersenjata. Segera saja, tewasnya Khalil jadi tajuk berita utama. Mereka menyebut pemuda itu preman, pengedar narkoba, bahkan anggota geng. Demo besar-besaran memenuhi jalanan atas nama Khalil. Semua orang ingin tahu, apa yang sebetulnya terjadi saat Khalil terbunuh. Satu-satunya yang bisa menjawab adalah Starr. Yang akan ia katakan, bukan hanya bisa menghancurkan lingkungannya. Kemungkinan besar, itu bisa membuatnya terbunuh.

After witnessing her friend''s death at the hands of a police officer, Starr Carter''s life is complicated when the police and a local drug lord try to intimidate her in an effort to learn what happened the night Kahlil died.
