Opinion--
If I were to rate this book it would be a 9-10. This reason is because it’s not the book I expect the story to be really good. This book is about Jed and Flyer. They are filming a documentary of their neighborhood until they run into someone that can help Jed. Jed’s brother Zeke died young and he is trying to connect to his brother. Zeke died of diabetes. Zeke was in a band before he died and he was called Bird.
Summary—
Jed and Flyer are out in their town filming a documentary. They went from Avenue A to Avenue B and so on. After that they went into the subway to get some money from playing music. They didn’t get much. Then a drunken guy came up and talks crap about their music so they left. On their way out Jed noticed a girl who he thinks can help him connect to Zeke. Later on Jed and Kiki (the girl) become good friends and he helps her. He helps her get into school and he lets her live with him. They go to school and they present the documentary to the class and his brothers poems.
