Bronxwood by Coe Booth

Bronxwood by Coe Booth

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Tyrell is still holding it down in his project building in the Bronx all alone–holding it down for himself, his younger brother who has to live in foster care, and his friends who are more like family to him. In Bronxwood we follow the teen through every challenge, struggle, and joy while he tries to survive on the streets day to day. His father gets out of prison and immediately expects Ty to revert back to childhood. But Ty has been filling the void for over a year, playing the role while his father was gone, and he isn’t ready to let go, can’t let go. His parents are trying to put their family back together, but Ty feels his whole life is crumbling around him. He has to make tough decisions and turn his back on those he never thought he would. Coe Booth’s writing is bold, conscious, and consistent in Ty’s story, using a real-life voice that readers will recognize and respond to.
