About the Book



Unable to celebrate the holidays in the wake of his older brother's death in a gang-related shooting, Lolly Rachpaul struggles to avoid being forced into a gang himself while constructing a fantastically creative LEGO city at the Harlem community center.



Book Synopsis



"La historia perfecta en el momento adecuado ...No es sólo una narración, es toda una experiencia. Es la novela que estábamos esperando". --The New York Times

En esta destacada novela debut que celebra la comunidad y la creatividad, un niño intenta maniobrar un camino seguro por las viviendas de bajos recursos de Harlem tras la muerte de su hermano.

¡Ganador del premio Coretta Scott King -John Steptoe a nuevos talentos y pronto llegará a la pantalla grande dirigida por Michael B. Jordan!

Es Nochebuena en Harlem, pero Lolly Rachpaul de doce años y su madre no celebrarán esta noche. Todavía se están recuperando de la muerte del hermano mayor a causa de un tiroteo relacionado a una pandilla hace unos meses atrás. Luego la amiga de la madre de Lolly le trae un regalo que lo cambiará todo: dos bolsas enormes llenas de Legos. A Lolly siempre le ha encantado armar Legos y se enorgullece en seguir estrictamente las instrucciones de las cajas. Ahora, frente a una pila de cuadritos de plástico de construcción y sin instrucciones, Lolly deberá encontrar su propio camino hacia la meta.

El camino de su vida no está claro, y la presión de unirse a una pandilla siempre está presente.
Cuando un día golpean y roban a Lolly y a su amigo en la calle, unirse a una pandilla para protección parecería ser lo más lógico y la opción más segura. Pero construir una fantástica ciudad de Lego en el centro comunitario del barrio le brinda a Lolly un escape y un puente inesperado que lo acerca al resto del mundo.

David Barclay Moore pinta un poderoso retrato de un niño que se tambalea al borde de la adolescencia, el dolor y la violencia, y muestra cómo el espíritu ingenioso de Lolly lo ayuda a construir una vida con cimientos firmes y muchas posibilidades.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The right story at the right time...It's not just a narrative; it's an experience. It's the novel we've been waiting for." --The New York Times

A boy tries to steer a safe path through the projects in Harlem in the wake of his brother's death in this outstanding debut novel that celebrates community and creativity. Winner of the Coretta Scott King John Steptoe Award for New Talent and soon to be a major motion picture directed by Michael B. Jordan!

It's Christmas Eve in Harlem, but twelve-year-old Lolly Rachpaul and his mom aren't celebrating. They're still reeling from his older brother's death in a gang-related shooting just a few months earlier. Then Lolly's mother's girlfriend brings him a gift that will change everything: two enormous bags filled with Legos. Lolly's 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 isn't clear--and 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 choice. But building a fantastical Lego city at the community center provides Lolly with an escape--and an unexpected bridge back to the world.

David Barclay Moore paints a powerful portrait of a boy teetering on the edge--of adolescence, of grief, of violence--and shows how Lolly's inventive spirit helps him build a life with firm foundations and open doors.
