On the Come Up
of Angie Thomas (Goodreads Author)
Description
Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least make it out of her neighborhood one day. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died before he hit big, Briâs got big shoes to fill. But now that her mom has unexpectedly lost her job, food banks and shutoff notices are as much a part of Briâs life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make itâshe has to make it.On the Come Up is Angie Thomasâs 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.
