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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Rose Books \u0026 More","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51150285668640,"sku":"9781338569162","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/products\/the-stars-beneath-our-feet-by-david-barclay-moore","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
