Description

Sixteen-year-old Bri Jackson is trying to hold her world together—balancing school, family, and the pressure of being the voice her community needs. When her talent for rap collides with the realities of fame, identity, and systemic injustice, Bri must decide what she’s willing to risk to be heard and who she can trust along the way. Told with urgency and heart, this coming-of-age story explores the power of art, the weight of expectations, and the complicated choices that shape a young person’s future. Angie Thomas brings her signature blend of lyrical storytelling and emotional realism, delivering a narrative that feels both intensely personal and boldly universal.
