** WINNER OF THE CORETTA SCOTT KINGJOHN STEPTOE AWARD FOR NEW TALENT! **
SIX STARRED REVIEWS!
Its Christmas Eve in Harlem, but twelve-year-old Lolly Rachpaul and his mom arent celebratingTheyre still reeling from his older brothers death in a gang-related shooting just a few months earlier. Then Lollys mothers girlfriend brings him a gift that will change everything: two enormous bags filled with Legos. Lollys always loved Legos, and he prides himself on following the kit instructions exactly.
Now, faced with a pile of building blocks and no instructions, Lolly must find his own way forward.
His path isnt clearand the pressure to join a crew, as his brother did, is always there. When Lolly and his friend are beaten up and robbed, joining a crew almost seems like the safe choiceBut building a fantastical Lego city at the community center provides Lolly with an escapeand an unexpected bridge back to the world.
David Barclay Moore paints a powerful portrait of a boy teetering on the edgeof adolescence, of grief, of violenceand shows how Lollys inventive spirit helps him build a life with firm foundations and open doors.
