\n “The right story at the right time. . . . It\u2019s not just a narrative; it\u2019s an experience. It\u2019s the novel we\u2019ve been waiting for.” \u2014The\u00a0New York Times<\/p>\n

A boy tries to steer a safe path through the projects in Harlem in the wake of his brother\u2019s death in this outstanding debut novel that celebrates community and creativity.<\/p>\n

** WINNER OF THE CORETTA SCOTT KING\u2013JOHN STEPTOE AWARD FOR NEW TALENT! **<\/p>\n

SIX STARRED REVIEWS!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Christmas Eve in Harlem, but twelve-year-old Lolly Rachpaul and his mom aren\u2019t celebrating. They\u2019re still reeling from his older brother\u2019s death in a gang-related shooting just a few months earlier. Then Lolly\u2019s mother\u2019s girlfriend brings him a gift that will change everything: two enormous bags filled with Legos. Lolly\u2019s 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.
\u00a0
His path isn\u2019t clear\u2014and the pressure to join a \u201ccrew,\u201d 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 choice. But building a fantastical Lego city at the community center provides Lolly with an escape\u2014and an unexpected bridge back to the world.\u00a0
\u00a0
David Barclay Moore paints a powerful portrait of a boy teetering on the edge\u2014of adolescence, of grief, of violence\u2014and shows how Lolly\u2019s inventive spirit helps him build a life with firm foundations and open doors.<\/p>\n
