The Hate U Give
Autor Angie Thomasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mai 2022 – vârsta de la 14 ani
Subliniem forța narativă a romanului The Hate U Give, o lucrare care nu doar spune o poveste, ci devine o voce necesară pentru realitățile sociale contemporane. Elementul distinctiv al acestei ediții în limba engleză este structura sa educativă: textul original este însoțit de adnotări și întrebări de reflecție, transformând lectura într-un proces activ de înțelegere a contextului american. Considerăm că dualitatea vieții lui Starr Carter — efortul constant de a-și adapta limbajul și comportamentul în funcție de mediul în care se află — rezonează profund cu orice tânăr aflat în căutarea propriei identități. În familia unor titluri precum Tyler Johnson Was Here de Jay Coles, dar cu o temă actuală și mult mai nuanțată: curajul de a depune mărturie într-un sistem care pare să protejeze agresorul. Reținem faptul că proza lui Angie Thomas nu este doar despre traumă, ci și despre reziliență și puterea comunității. Dacă în Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy autoarea explorează fantezia, aici ea rămâne ancorată într-un realism dur, similar cu cel din On The Come Up, unde vocea tinerilor este singura armă împotriva injustiției. Structura narativă este alertă, menținând un echilibru între momentele de tensiune politică și cele de căldură familială. Această ediție de la WALKER BOOKS oferă un aparat critic valoros, explicând referințele la cultura hip-hop și istoria drepturilor civile, elemente esențiale pentru a înțelege profunzimea mesajului transmis de Starr.

Timi Debreczeni a dat nota:
This is a must read book for all the priviled white folks! (I am one too). It just really opens up your eyes about what kind of brutality and unfairness goes around in the black community. How is this even possible in the world we live in? We follow a girl's story, Starr, whose friend is murdered by a cop for no reason and the process that follows after that. I just wanna say that I admire Star's character, she is so brave and evolves so much throughout the book!
De ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte părinților care doresc să deschidă cu adolescenții lor o conversație onestă despre justiție socială și empatie. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă rară asupra modului în care prejudecățile afectează viețile reale, totul prin ochii unei protagoniste curajoase de 16 ani. Este un instrument educativ excelent pentru îmbunătățirea limbii engleze și pentru înțelegerea mișcărilor sociale moderne.
Despre autor
Angie Thomas este o figură centrală în literatura contemporană pentru tineri, devenind celebră prin capacitatea sa de a transpune problemele sistemice în povești umane vibrante.

Lucrările sale, printre care se numără și colaborările Whiteout și Blackout, explorează teme precum bucuria comunității de culoare și complexitatea maturizării sub presiune socială.

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.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Soon afterward, Khalil’s death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Starr’s best friend at school suggests he may have had it coming. When it becomes clear the police have little interest in investigating the incident, protesters take to the streets and Starr’s neighborhood becomes a war zone. 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 destroy her community. It could also endanger her life.
Angie Thomas’s searing debut about an ordinary girl in extraordinary circum-stances addresses issues of racism and police violence with intelligence, heart, and un-flinching honesty.
This collector’s edition of the acclaimed, award-winning novel contains a letter from the author; the meanings behind the names; a map of Garden Heights; fan art; the full, original story that inspired the book; and an excerpt from On the Come Up.
Recenzii

“This is tragically timely, hard-hitting, and an ultimate prayer for change. Don’t look away from this searing battle for justice. Rally with Starr.” — Adam Silvera, New York Times bestselling author of MORE HAPPY THAN NOT
“With smooth but powerful prose delivered in Starr’s natural, emphatic voice, finely nuanced characters, and intricate and realistic relationship dynamics, this novel will have readers rooting for Starr and opening their hearts to her friends and family. This story is necessary. This story is important.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Though Thomas’s story is heartbreakingly topical, its greatest strength is in its authentic depiction of a teenage girl, her loving family, and her attempts to reconcile what she knows to be true about their lives with the way those lives are depicted—and completely undervalued—by society at large.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Beautifully written in Starr’s authentic first-person voice, this is a marvel of verisimilitude as it insightfully examines two worlds in collision. An inarguably important book that demands the widest possible readership.” — Booklist (starred review)
“Pair this powerful debut with Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely’s ALL AMERICAN BOYS to start a conversation on racism, police brutality, and the Black Lives Matter movement.” — School Library Journal (starred review)
“The Hate U Give is an important and timely novel that reflects the world today’s teens inhabit.

This topical, necessary story is highly recommended for all libraries.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review)
“Thomas has penned a powerful, in-your-face novel that will similarly galvanize fans of Kekla Magoon’s How It Went Down and Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely’s All American Boys.” — Horn Book (starred review)
“Ultimately the book emphasizes the need to speak up about injustice. That’s a message that will resonate with all young people concerned with fairness, and Starr’s experience will speak to readers who know Starr’s life like their own and provide perspective for others.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review)
“In her debut novel, Angie Thomas creates what might be one of the decade’s most vivid voices in YA fiction. Though the appalling scenario depicted here is sadly familiar, Thomas’s clear and honest writing moves beyond sound bites to represent the real people and communities behind the headlines.” — Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“The story of Starr Carter, a 16-year-old who sees her childhood best friend fatally shot by a police officer, is compelling, thought-provoking, and conversation-enabling. One readers are sure to be talking about for a long time.” — Brightly
