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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+David+Barclay+Moore\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDavid Barclay Moore\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Barclay Moore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377764843683,"sku":"9781524701277","price":205.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781524701277_b796a480-0d1c-46d3-b908-30fa5718f17a.jpg?v=1776558456","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781524701277","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
