Honor Book Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at
least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right
before he hit big  Bri's got massive shoes to fill. But it's hard to get your come up when
you're labeled a hoodlum at school  and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her
job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song  which goes viral . . . for all
the wrong reasons. Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy  portrayed by the
media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down  Bri doesn't
just want to make it?she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made
her out to be. Insightful  unflinching  and full of heart  On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop
from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It 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. ?For all the struggle in this book  Thomas
rarely misses a step as a writer. Thomas continues to hold up that mirror with grace and
confidence. We are lucky to have her  and lucky to know a girl like Bri.??The New York Times
