NA HORA DA VIRADA

The highly anticipated second novel by Angie Thomas, author of the award-winning bestseller O ódio que você semeia.
Bri is a sixteen-year-old girl who dreams of becoming one of the greatest rappers of all time — or at least winning her first battle. The daughter of an underground hip-hop legend whose rise was cut short by an early death, Bri carries the weight of that legacy. But it’s hard to feel confident about debuting when you’re constantly targeted at school and, ever since her mother lost her job, the cupboards and fridge have been empty.
So Bri pours all her rage into a debut song that goes viral… for all the wrong reasons. At the center of a controversy, she is portrayed by the media as a major threat to society. With an eviction notice looming over her family, she has no choice but to embrace the labels the public has thrown at her.
Na hora da virada gives Angie Thomas’s readers another unforgettable heroine to root for. It’s a story about fighting for your dreams — and about the difficulty of being yourself in a world that wants you to be someone else.
Published in English as On the Come Up.
