Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A boy navigates the challenges of life in Harlem after his brother's tragic death in this remarkable debut novel that highlights community and creativity. Set on Christmas Eve, twelve-year-old Lolly Rachpaul and his mother are grappling with grief from a gang-related shooting. A transformative gift from his mother’s girlfriend—two large bags of Legos—offers Lolly a chance to rebuild his life. Traditionally meticulous in following kit instructions, Lolly now faces a pile of blocks without guidance, forcing him to carve his own path. The allure of joining a gang, like his brother, looms large, especially after he and a friend are attacked. However, constructing a fantastical Lego city at the community center becomes Lolly's refuge and a way to reconnect with his surroundings. David Barclay Moore skillfully depicts a boy on the brink of adolescence, grief, and violence, illustrating how Lolly's creativity helps him forge a life with stability and hope. This poignant tale has garnered acclaim, including six starred reviews and recognition as a Publisher's Weekly Best Book of the Year, with a film adaptation directed by Michael B. Jordan in the works.
