📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Tiffany Jackson
Steph is gone. Killed before he
could have the music career he dreamed of, that his two best friends and sister
feel he should have had. But who says the world can’t hear Steph’s music? Using
tracks Steph recorded before his death, Quadir and Jarrell hatch a plan to
share and promote the songs under the alias The Architect. They enlist Steph’s
sister Jasmine to help and before they know it Steph’s music is circling the
neighborhood. As time goes on, the three realize that keeping their secret may
not be so easy.
Set in the ’90s not long after the
death of Tupac and Biggie Smalls, this book is a love letter to Brooklyn and
Rap Music. The story alternates between Quadir, Jarrell, and Jasmine’s narration
as well as insights from Steph’s perspective prior to his death. Readers won’t
know where the story is going and what will happen with the secret our main
trio is keeping. This book is a must-read for many.
