The Stars Beneath Our Feet by David Barclay MooreMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Lolly is 12 and lives in Harlem. His life is a tough one. He's being harassed by a gang, he lives in the projects, he barely sees his father, and his mother is in a new relationship. He's struggling with the loss of his brother. Building with Legos is his best way of coping. Now that's being threatened by a girl.
I liked a lot about this book, but I thought it tried to do too much. Lolly seemed to be facing EVERY issue a kid could face. After a while I kept thinking, "What next?" as he was confronted with a new challenge.
