The story I chose to write about is The Stars Beneath Our Feet by David Barclay Moore. The genre of the book is realistic fiction because it has events that could happen in real life. Lolly, a 12-year-old boy, living in Harlem is fighting problems in his life. Lolly has been depressed for the past year because his older brother passed away at a nightclub. Not only is his brother dead but his dad rarely visits Lolly. Lolly also has to be careful in the streets of Harlem from dangers like getting mugged. Lolly helps get through these problems by using legos and building his own sculptures. Lolly makes a new friend he can relate his problems and even hangs outside of the school together.
I highly recommend this book to any middle school. The book makes you smile, laugh, and even cry at some parts of the story. There are heartwarming parts of the book that make you feel good inside. It is an amazing read and will keep you interested throughout the story. All throughout the story you feel curious and think about what will happen next. In my opinion, I give this story a 10 out of 10-star rating.
