A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“Drugs, drive-by shootings, gang warfare, wasted lives―Myers has written about all these subjects with nuanced understanding and a hard-won, qualified sense of hope.” (New York Times)

“Rich, nuanced...the use of magical realism brings depth and an intriguing strangeness to [Myers’] sharp-eyed observations of Harlem street life.” (School Library Journal (starred review))

“A didn’t-see-that-coming ending wraps up the story on a note of well-earned hope and will leave readers with plenty to think about.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Characters have vivid page presence.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Readers might be moved to consider what they’d do in their own lives if they could start with a clean slate.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

“Myers’ narrative strategy is so inherently dramatic that it captures his readers’ attentions and imaginations, inviting not only empathy but also thoughtful discussion.” (ALA Booklist)
