On the Come Up (Angie Thomas, 2019)

The author of The Hate U Give, Angie Thomas follows up with On The Come Up, a young adult novel that takes place in the same universe. It follows the life of Bri, a sixteen-year-old rapper who wants to follow in her father’s footsteps. She navigates controversy, internet fame, and defies the odds in order to ‘make it’ in the world of underground hip-hop. “I loved the storyline and all the characters. Angie Thomas has a great style of writing that will leave you hooked,” says ACIT junior Jaraah Hossain.
