Summary: Mircales Boys book review
Comment: I found mircales boys written by Jacqueline Woodson to be an enchantingly epic drama. It is the tale of three underprivliged African American brothers living in a poor New York City apartnment. the brothers are struggling with the tramitic death of both there parents. Lafayette the youngest brother found his mother laying lifeless in her bed and since that day the middle brother Charlie has blamed him for not doing anything. Now it is Tyree the oldest brother who must support his two brothers by not going to college and working full time in a mail room. charlie was in a correctional facility at the time of his mothers death and has never been the same since he got out. Now he is a problem child and if he gets in trouble again Lafayette and himself will be forced to live in a foster home. the inevitable happens in the end and charlie is caught in a stolen car and Tyree has to go down to the police station and bail him out the cop let him off because it wasnt his fault. the next day seemed like the first day that the broters started to return to normal.

Summary: Miracle's Boys
Comment: In the book Miracle's Boys Lafayette, Charlie, and Ty'ree are three brothers living together. Two years ago Lafayette was watching TV on the couch when he saw his mother collapse to the ground. She later died in the hospital. When this happened Charlie was in a place called Rahway. It's where people go if they are too young for jail. Before he went to Rahway he was happy and really emotional. Ever since he got back him and Laffayette can't get along at all. Also, now Lafayette calls him New Charlie because he has changed so much. He's out at night now and isn't emotional at all anymore.
Ty'ree is pretty much the father figure for Charlie and Lafayette. He pays the rent and buys the food for them. Their father died earlier before their mother. Though when he died Lafayette was still in his mother's stomach. She hadn't had him yet. In the book Lafayette is trying to find his spot in the family.
I think Jacqueline Woodson did a wonderful job describing and getting inside the characters thoughts and points of views. He made each chapter about someone else, which I liked. He could have told about Charlie a little more, though. I needed to know more about his backround. Jacqueline Woodson and the Miracle's Boys are in my top ten favorite books!
