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.

Angie Thomas, autora do best-seller internacional O ódio que você semeia, estreia na literatura infantojuvenil com uma fantasia contemporânea envolvente, divertida e cheia de magia e suspense, inspirada na história e no folclore afro-americanos. Tudo o que a jovem Nic Blake mais deseja é ser uma Manifestora tão boa quanto seu pai. Mas, antes disso, ela precisa aprender a usar o Dom, a magia que dá aos Manifestores poderes e habilidades incríveis (tipo enxergar o mundo Notável e suas criaturas fantásticas). E Nic não poderia estar mais animada para seu aniversário de 12 anos, pois o pai prometeu que quando a filha atingisse essa idade lhe ensinaria a usar o Dom. Além disso, ela finalmente ganhou o tão sonhado animalzinho de estimação, uma adorável filhote de cão do inferno chamada Cacau. Entretanto, as aulas de Dom vão ficar pra depois... Frustrada com a promessa quebrada pelo pai e por um incidente mágico que meio que a deixou de castigo — em pleno aniversário, por sinal, e justamente quando TJ Retro, seu autor favorito, vai fazer uma sessão de autógrafos na cidade —, Nic decide dar uma escapadinha inocente com seu melhor amigo, JP, até a livraria. Porém, essa travessura vai colocar os dois em uma baita confusão! Quando um segredo supersecreto é revelado, a vida de Nic vira de pernas pro ar, levando a jovem Manifestora a se aventurar pelo mundo Notável para impedir o pai de ser condenado por um crime que de jeito nenhum, nunca, nunquinha mesmo, ele poderia ter cometido. Agora Nic, JP e Cacau vão precisar de muita coragem para desbravar o mundo Notável e os poderosos Manifestores. Que bom que eles são os presidentes não-oficiais-que-deveriam-ser-oficiais do fã-clube de TJ Retro porque "As Aventuras de Steve James" estão prestes a escapar das páginas dos livros e invadir a realidade! "Toda a genialidade que se esperaria de Angie Thomas: um enredo irresistível, personagens cativantes, aventuras que as crianças vão amar e magia, muita magia! Um triunfo total!" - Rick Riordan, autor da série Percy Jackson e os Olimpianos

International phenomenon Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood. If there''s one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it''s that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad''s in prison. Life''s not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav''s got everything under control. Until, that is, Maverick finds out he''s a father. Suddenly he has a baby, Seven, who depends on him for everything. But it''s not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child. So when he''s offered the chance to go straight, he takes it. In a world where he''s expected to amount to nothing, maybe Mav can prove he''s different. When King Lord blood runs through your veins, though, you can''t just walk away. Loyalty, revenge, and responsibility threaten to tear Mav apart, especially after the brutal murder of a loved one. He''ll have to figure out for himself what it really means to be a man.

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.

This is the highly anticipated second novel by Angie Thomas, the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning The Hate U Give. Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least get some streams on her mixtape. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive shoes to fill. But when her mom unexpectedly loses her job, food banks and shut-off notices become as much a part of her life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it—she has to make it. On the Come Up is Angie Thomas’s homage to hip hop, the art that sparked her passion for storytelling and continues to inspire her to this day. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; of the struggle to become who you are, and not who everyone expects you to be; and of the desperate realities of poor and working class black families. Brilliant, insightful, full of heart, this novel is another modern classic from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation.

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.
