Budúcnosť čarodejníkov je v jej rukách. Po záchrane brata aj celého nadprirodzeného sveta sa Amari Petersová nádejala, že prvé leto na pozícii junior agentky zvládne ľavou zadnou. Nový predseda však nastolí prísne a desivé protičarodejnícke pravidlá a medzi junior agentmi sa rozpúta súperenie. Zároveň sa stav Amarinho zakliateho brata Quintona zhorší a Amari je jasné, že sa nebude nudiť. Preto odmietne ponuku utajenej Ligy čarodejníkov stať sa vodkyňou. Už beztak má veľa starostí! Amarino odmietnutie však vytvorí príležitosť pre čarodejníka, ktorý má s ligou nebezpečné plány. Táto výzva rozpúta veľký súboj – hru, v ktorej sa rozhodne, kto sa stane nástupcom Nočných bratov a spečatí osud čarodejníctva. Veľký súboj je záhadná a smrteľne nebezpečná hra, no ako by sa v nej Amari mohla vzdať, keď jej víťazstvo by okrem iných magických výhod znamenalo poslednú nádej pre Quintona?

This hardcover box set of Angie Thomas's bestselling novels makes an ideal gift for holidays or graduations. It follows two generations of the Carter family as they come of age in Garden Heights, defying expectations to carve their own paths. In the first story, sixteen-year-old Starr Carter navigates her life between a poor neighborhood and a prestigious suburban prep school. Her world is turned upside down when she witnesses the police shooting of her childhood best friend, Khalil. This narrative has received numerous accolades, including the William C. Morris Award and a spot on the National Book Award Longlist, with critics praising its riveting and necessary storytelling. The second story revisits Garden Heights seventeen years earlier, focusing on Maverick Carter, a seventeen-year-old who believes a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav resorts to dealing for the King Lords to support his mother, who juggles two jobs while his father is in prison. This poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood has garnered four starred reviews, highlighting its heartfelt examination of possibility and responsibility.

Vyrastala ako obyčajné dievča. Ako obstojí v nadprirodzenom svete? Amari Petersová je dvanásťročné dievča, ktoré žije v chudobnej štvrti s mamou a so starším bratom Quintonom. Bystrý a obľúbený chlapec sa však jedného dňa záhadne vyparí a Amari nechápe, prečo sa jeho zmiznutiu nevenuje väčšia pozornosť. Prečo to neodvysielali vo všetkých správach? A prečo ho polícia automaticky podozrieva, že sa zaplietol do niečoho nezákonného? Amari neskôr objaví v bratovej skrini tikajúci kufrík s odkazom, že je určený len pre ňu. Quinton pred ňou očividne tajil oveľa viac, než si myslela. Nechal jej pozvánku na letný výcvik v akomsi tajnom Úrade nadprirodzených vecí. Amari netuší, o čo ide, ale je presvedčená, že práve tam sa dozvie viac o bratovom zmiznutí. Musí si však zvyknúť na myšlienku, že čarodejníci či rôzne záhadné tvory naozaj existujú. Amari počas výcviku súperí s najbohatšími deťmi v krajine, ktoré sa už odmalička pohybujú v nadprirodzenom svete. Navyše úrad každému žiakovi zosilní jeho talent na nadprirodzenú schopnosť, aby mu slúžila pri práci. Amarina schopnosť je však zakázaná. Akoby už aj tak dosť nevytŕčala z davu… Popravde, ešte nikdy sa necítila tak osamelo. Lenže ak sa vzdá a nezvládne tri skúšky, možno nikdy nezistí, čo sa stalo jej bratovi.

International phenomenon Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood. If there's one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it's that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad's in prison. Life's not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav's got everything under control. Until, that is, Maverick finds out he's a father. Suddenly he has a baby, Seven, who depends on him for everything. But it's not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child. So when he's offered the chance to go straight, he takes it. In a world where he's expected to amount to nothing, maybe Mav can prove he's different. When King Lord blood runs through your veins, though, you can't just walk away. Loyalty, revenge, and responsibility threaten to tear Mav apart, especially after the brutal murder of a loved one. He'll have to figure out for himself what it really means to be a man.

In the months following his father's suicide, sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto can’t seem to find happiness again, despite the support of his girlfriend, Genevieve, and his overworked mom. Grief and the smile-shaped scar on his wrist won’t let him forget the pain. But when Aaron meets Thomas, a new kid in the neighborhood, something starts to shift inside him.

This is the highly anticipated second novel by Angie Thomas, the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning The Hate U Give. 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.

Šestnásťročná Starr Carterová žije v dvoch svetoch: býva v chudobnej černošskej štvrti a navštevuje snobskú strednú školu na predmestí. Krehkú rovnováhu medzi nimi naruší večer, keď sa stane svedkyňou streľby, pri ktorej policajný dôstojník pripraví o život jej najlepšieho priateľa z detstva Khalila. Khalil v čase vraždy pri sebe nemal zbraň. Jeho smrť zakrátko upúta pozornosť celoštátnych médií. Niektoré ho opíšu ako grázla, iné ako drogového dílera a gangstra. Starrina najlepšia kamarátka zo školy dokonca naznačí, že si zomrieť zaslúžil. Keď sa ukáže, že polícia nemá záujem prípad vyriešiť, ulice zaplnia demonštranti a černošská štvrť sa zmení na vojnovú zónu. Všetkých zaujíma, čo sa v osudný večer skutočne stalo. Odpoveď pozná iba Starr. No čokoľvek, čo sa rozhodne (alebo nerozhodne) prezradiť, môže zničiť jej rodinu a ohroziť jej život. Strhujúci debutový román Angie Thomasovej o obyčajnom dievčati v neobyčajnej situácii inteligentne, citlivo a s neochvejnou úprimnosťou zobrazuje problém rasizmu a policajnej brutality.
