Om The Hate U Give fra Gyldendal:
Starr Carter er 16 år og beveger seg hver dag mellom to verdener: det fattige svarte lokalmiljøet, der hun bor, og den finere privatskolen i forstaden, som hun går på. Det er en ustabil balanse som går i stykker den kvelden Starr blir vitne til at barndomsvennen, Khalil, blir skutt og drept av en hvit politimann. Khalil var ubevæpnet.
Da Khalils død blir forsidestoff over hele landet, og nabolaget bryter ut i voldsomme demonstrasjoner, blir Starr nødt til å ta et valg, spesielt siden noen av vennene hennes på skolen antyder at Khalil kanskje fortjente det. Alle vil vite hva som skjedde, men det Starr velger å si – eller ikke si – kan ødelegge lokalsamfunnet, vennskap og sette hennes eget liv i fare.
Angie Thomas’ sterke debut om en helt vanlig jente, som havner i en uvanlig situasjon, tar for seg temaer som rasisme og politivold med intelligens, hjerte og urokkelig ærlighet.
Inspirasjonen til The Hate U Give kommer fra bevegelsen Black Lives Matter. BLM er en internasjonal bevegelse som forsøker å bekjempe vold og systematisk rasisme av svarte. Men Angie Thomas er også inspirert av rapperen Tupac og hans uttrykk THUG LIFE – akronym for ‘The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everyone’.
Om Children of Blood and Bone fra Bokklubben:
Zelie remembers when the soil of Orisha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled - Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zelie's Reaper mother summoning forth souls.
But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed, leaving Zelie without a mother and her people without hope. Only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden.
Zelie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zelie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.
Danger lurks in Orisha, where strange creatures prowl, and vengeful spirits wait in the waters. Yet the greatest danger may be Zelie herself as she struggles to come to terms with the strength of her magic - and her growing feelings for an enemy.
The movie of Children of Blood and Bone is in development at Fox 2000/Temple Hill Productions with the incredible Karen Rosenfelt and Wyck Godfrey (Twilight, Maze Runner, The Fault In Our Stars) producing it.
