Description
Bri's dream of becoming one of the greatest rappers of all time is put to the test when her first song goes viral for all the wrong reasons. As she navigates the pressures of fame and the harsh realities of poverty, Bri must confront the odds stacked against her and fight for her dreams.
Angie Thomas's powerful story sheds light on child poverty in the US, highlighting the struggles faced by young people like Bri who are forced to grow up too quickly. With its unflinching portrayal of a difficult world, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and authentic voice.
With its raw emotion and unapologetic honesty, On the Come Up is a story that will resonate with readers long after they finish reading it. A powerful exploration of identity, freedom of speech, and the struggle to make a name for oneself in a world that often seems determined to hold you back.
