Excellent read!

Bought this for my 11 yr old and he was super appreciative. Said he could really relate, the story was gripping and he couldn’t put the book down. Thank you to the author for creating such a great story!

Page 9 my son brought this to my attention. This was all I needed to see to stop my son from continuing reading this book. I'm not sure who rated this book, but as a black father of 2 boys it's a word we dont in our house nor outside. And it's the last thing i would refer to any BLACK child as a great read. SHAMEFUL is the word i use...

sensitive exploration of race with lots of Lego

Good story, not the standard cast of characters, not the standard ways to deal with gang pressure, peer pressure, and being non-neurotypical, with an ending that's not too pat and not too happy. I enjoyed it.

So pleased with this purchase. I thought it would be a paperback for the price. Turned out to be a hardback. How good is that !

Reviews were so misleading ..my child is 9 yrs and mature for his age, he underlined all adult wording especially the N word so he can bring it home for me to seee!! 😑The children in his class told him that is not a book for kids .We stopped at page 10! Be aware this book should have been for age range 15and up .

Content Alert: More "Young Adult" than 9-12

Reviewed in the United States on 17 November 2017

Verified Purchase

We stopped this book prematurely. My son asked me to read a chapter aloud to him. He'd read about 4 or 5 chapters already, and he seemed to be enjoying it. He's 12 yo (6th grade). I was uncomfortable with the sexualized content and the language used to describe this. It's likely very realistic to the setting. It's just not what I wanted to read aloud to my preteen (or for him to read just yet). I remarked about it to my son, and he said, "I know, right?!" We've put it away. The reading level may be 5th or 6th grade, but some of the content is 8th - 10th grade.

Don’t let the Legos fool you

Excellent book. It might be at a 10 yo reading level but maybe a little older content wise. My 10 yo son and I read this together and it gave us lots of opportunities for conversation. I liked that my suburban-raised white son got to hear about the life and times of a black Harlem preteen. That being said, there was a lot of heavy subjects and things like the main character and his friends smoking cigarettes in the park. There was also a disproportionate number of gay characters. Glad they were represented, but thought it was a little odd that there were so many, plus there was only one character whose sexuality was relevant to the story. There are a lot of positive messages about friendship, acceptance, forgiveness, dreaming big and being your best self, but they are conveyed in a very subtle way that doesn’t beat you over the head with the message. Overall an excellent book, but probably more for the 13 and up crowd and even then still should probably have some parental discussion due to some of the intensity. Well done!

Provoking read for teens- returning for refund

Reviewed in the United States on 21 April 2020

This far, my 15 year old has enjoyed this book! I am a black mother from urban Dallas and chose to not raise my son in those districts, schools or environments. However, those are my roots and I have family from and still there. My son did not know what a “project building” was or what “sneakers “ were or any idea what the real streets are like. This is something very different for him and he desires to read this book about a boy that looks like him with very different experiences but some uniquely alike as a teen. I am excited because we both have traveled to NYC many times so there is a connection for him and a level of interest he showed that I have not seen while reading in the past. Granted, the language is fairly mature but is certainly real life and not fabricated. The author did a great job detailing the vision. We are reading together so I can explain some of the slang and he can get my parental version of what some things mean. Overall, it is a good read for us. (UPDATE)After reading further, I decided to return the book because I choose not to expose my son to homosexuality or “butch” lifestyles in my home!
