Angie Thomas - Böcker

Alla hennes drömmar har gått i uppfyllelse. Efter att ha levt gömd i de oansenligas värld, har Nic Blake nu fått allt hon önskar: hon hyllas som en hjälte, hon har fått en stor familj och ett riktigt hem i den gömda staden Uhuru, samt en möjlighet att utveckla sina krafter i skolan för unga manifestorer. Men det finns en hemlig profetia som hotar hennes framtid och Nic har en ny, farlig kraft hon inte kan kontrollera. Dessutom hotas hon av en mystisk kult som vill tvinga henne att hitta Anansis bok och leverera den till dem. Det är bara ett problem: ingen vet om den faktiskt existerar och var den är. Hon kan bara lita på sin tvillingbror Alex och sin bästis JP, i jakten på boken och sanningen om manifestorernas magiska förmågor.

Anansis bok är andra delen i serien om Nic Blake. Äventyr, humor och spänning, inspirerad av afrikansk-amerikansk folklore, av succéförfattaren till The Hate U Give.

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed.

Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr.

But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
