The Stars beneath Our Feet

David Barclay Moore

After his older brother is killed in a gang-related shooting, twelve-year-old Lolly Rachpaul struggles with grief and with pressure from older boys in Harlem to join a gang. His mother, her girlfriend, his father, staff at a community center, and his friend Vega are sources of support. At the center, Lolly builds an elaborate LEGO city, and an architecture book begins to expand his sense of what may be possible.
