A boy from the hood in Brooklyn travels to a STEM camp in an Appalachian holler for one epic, life-changing summer in this brilliant novel from the award-winning author of The Stars Beneath Our Feet. Javari knew that West Virginia would be different from his home in Bushwick, Brooklyn. But his first day at STEM Camp in a little Appalachian town is still a shock. Though run-ins with the police are just the same here. Not good. Javari will learn a lot about science, tech, engineering, and math at camp. And also about rich people, racism, and hidden agendas. But it’s Cricket, a local boy, budding activist, and occasional thief, who will show him a different side of the holler—and blow his mind wide open. Javari is about to have that summer. Where everything gets messy and complicated and confusing . . . and you wouldn’t want it any other way. J + C + summer = ∞

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.
