BIG BUZZ FOR NEW YA NOVEL!
Angie Thomas, the author of the bestselling The Hate U Give, has written a new book titled On the Come Up, a novel about an aspiring teen rapper that arrives February 5 to much hoopla and great early reviews. Insightful, unflinching, 
and full of heart, On the Come Up is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn’t always free.
One our favorite reviews so far was written by an independent bookseller, Bethany Stout, from the Tattered Cover in Denver, CO, who wrote: “It's hard to follow a phenomenon, but On the Come Up shines in every way. Aspiring rapper Bri's ambition comes both from her talent and from the needs of her family — avoiding eviction, getting food on the table. Bri's lyrics are powerfully poetic, and her voice is full of emotion and humor. Angie Thomas showed the world she can insightfully represent complex issues while creating characters that you never want to say good-bye to. Her second novel proves she can do it again and again.”
We've ordered lots of copies, so come on by and be one of the first to read one of the first "big" books of 2019! And if you'd like to read a great interview with the author from The New York Times, click here.
