Miracle's Boys by Jacqueline Woodson

3 of 5 Stars to MIRACLE'S BOYS

MIRACLE’S BOYS was an emotional roller coaster ride. We’re introduced to a family of three teen boys who grapple with the tragic loss of both parents, the secrets they are afraid to share with each other about their parents deaths, and the rekindling of broken relationships between brothers. Tyree and Lafayette, easy characters to love, stole my heart from the very beginning of their tragic story. It was middle brother NewCharlie, who struggled with his losses alone in a boy’s home after committing a crime, who was harder for me to connect with. But as his personal struggle was revealed, this story transformed my thinking at every turn. And although the book ends a little too neatly for me, the characters are real, the setting believable, and the story well written in true Woodson fashion. MIRACLE’S BOYS does not disappoint.
