New Releases by Angie Thomas

Trapped at a luxurious resort off the coast of Florida, a group of elite teens are about to have a spring break they will never forget . . . but not all of them are coming home. The star-studded team of authors behind New York Times bestsellers Blackout and Whiteout returns with a thriller full of intrigue, betrayal, and heart-stopping romance. For Thurgood Marshall Academy's best and brightest--five friends who've been thick as thieves since kindergarten--this spring break is all about forgetting: they want nothing more than to wash away last year's tragedy, and the human-shaped hole it left in their friend group. It's a hole the new kid, Anthony Brooks, seems to fit right into. So when he invites the Five to join him on a private island for a week at his dad's luxury resort, they agree with zero hesitation. No one's counting on a freak tropical storm swooping in and killing the vibe. And speaking of killing, they're also ill-prepared for the mounting collection of dead bodies... including (another) one of their own. As their dream trip unravels, everything they tried to leave behind--secrets, lies, betrayals, dead best friends--seems to be washing up on the shore of their lives for everyone to see. Will any of them make it out alive? From the bestselling, award-winning team behind Blackout and Whiteout—Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon—comes a thriller that begs the question: is it possible to outrun the worst thing you've ever done? Murder-Mystery Meets Romance: Sparks fly and hearts collide over the course of one thrilling week. But can love survive when trust shatters and lives are on the line? Forced Proximity: Trapped on a private island, this close-knit group of friends are about to stretch tensions to the snapping point. There is no escape from danger or desire! Luxury With a Side of Lies: Be swept away by the glittering lifestyles of the one percent--and captivated by the intrigue and deadly secrets that lurk beneath their shimmering surfaces.

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 ...

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

Instant #1 New York Times bestseller! 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.

Hartverwarmende winterliefdes Vlak voor kerstmis is Atlanta bedekt onder een dikke laag sneeuw. Maar de warmte van ontluikende liefde zou het ijs weleens kunnen laten smelten in deze onderling verbonden verhalen, vol vreugde en sprankelende romantiek. Terwijl de stad bevriest, helpen twaalf tieners een vriendin de meest epische verontschuldiging van haar leven aan te bieden. Krijgen ze dat wel voor elkaar tijdens zo’n sneeuwstorm? Niemand is voorbereid op deze whiteout. Maar misschien kun je je ook niet voorbereiden op die magische momenten die alles veranderen… Topauteurs Nicola Yoon, Angie Thomas, Nic Stone, Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson en Ashley Woodfolk sloegen na Blackout opnieuw de handen ineen en schreven samen een roman over zwarte tienerliefde, waarin alle relaties zo uniek en sprankelend zijn als sneeuwvlokken.

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.
