Angie Thomas Books

At Books2Door, we celebrate authors and their incredible contributions to literature. Today, we're thrilled to shine the spotlight on Angie Thomas, a renowned author whose collection has captured the hearts of young adult readers.

Angie Thomas transcends the usual themes in young adult literature, venturing further to challenge her readers with discussions on racism, privilege, police brutality, and other pressing societal issues. 

Growing up in an economically deprived area of Jackson, Mississippi, Thomas' early life in an African American family exposed her to the realities of racial and economic disparities. Her firsthand experiences with societal issues are deeply ingrained in her narratives, giving her stories an authenticity that resonates with readers. As a teenager, Thomas was vocal about race and prejudice, even contributing as a rapper to Right On!, a magazine dedicated to African American celebrities.

These real-life experiences are vividly woven into her novels, allowing her readers to navigate the lives of her characters and grow alongside them.

Her debut novel, The Hate U Give, stands out for its poignant exploration of relevant and hard-hitting topics. This book not only established Thomas as a beloved figure in literature but also inspired readers worldwide to engage deeply with her subsequent works.

Following her stunning debut, Thomas released On the Come Up, eagerly anticipated by fans and lived up to the hype. This novel focuses on the ambitions and struggles of a young aspiring rapper who battles societal expectations and personal challenges in her quest for success.

Then came Concrete Rose, a prequel to The Hate U Give, which delves into the earlier life of Maverick Carter, exploring themes of young fatherhood and the cyclical challenges of poverty and violence.
