This book is called “Solo” by Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess. This book talks about how this boy named Blade Morrison, it was a family of rockstars. His father Rutherford was a drug addict, his little sister was storm. As the story continues he and his girlfriend have a problem, Chapel’s parents don’t like Blade because he is apart of the Morrison Family, but in actuality he’s not like his father. The book will show you what it means as the story progresses. My favorite part is when Blade finally stands up to Chapel’s parents and confesses how much he loves her. This part truly shows that he’ll do anything to stay with Chapel. Another part is Blade’s mother had died when he was at a very young age which is devastating, and all of a sudden his whole life he’s been having these dreams about a black widow. Blade believes it represents his mother trying to send a message to him. Blade would have these weird dreams about a black widow. Blade is trying to find out, why are all of these things happening to him why was he chosen. Later in the story he finds out something that changes his whole perspective and explains why he’s different from the rest of the Morrisons. To find out what the secret is, and more about that black widow, I advise you to read this book. And also if or when you read the book, could you tell me your favorite part? I love reactions to books.

He risked his life in a burning church, to save children. He was a brave hero, and the the man gave back by also saving lives as a doctor, and his mother’s words of the wiser set him up for life to help his community. “Through my mother’s way of handling life, she always made sure that I understood the need to give back.... She always said, ‘Once you make it, you have to come back and help other people.’ Too often, in Newark especially, I see so many professionals that do make it out — they don’t return. And I think that’s a crime in itself.... You have to have some soci...
