5 Starred Reviews! "This slim novel strikes a strong
chord"-Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This complex tale of
family and forgiveness has heart." -School Library Journal (starred
review) "Strong characterizations and vivid musical scenes add
layers to this warm family story." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An appealing, realistic story with frequent elegant turns of
phrase." -The Horn Book (starred review) "Garcia-Williams
skillfully finds melody in words." -Booklist (starred review) From
beloved Newbery Honor winner and three-time Coretta Scott King
Award winner Rita Williams-Garcia comes a powerful and heartfelt
novel about loss, family, and love that will appeal to fans of
Jason Reynolds and Kwame Alexander. Clayton feels most alive when
he's with his grandfather, Cool Papa Byrd, and the band of
Bluesmen-he can't wait to join them, just as soon as he has a blues
song of his own. But then the unthinkable happens. Cool Papa Byrd
dies, and Clayton's mother forbids Clayton from playing the blues.
And Clayton knows that's no way to live. Armed with his
grandfather's brown porkpie hat and his harmonica, he runs away
from home in search of the Bluesmen, hoping he can join them on the
road. But on the journey that takes him through the New York City
subways and to Washington Square Park, Clayton learns some things
that surprise him.
