Miracle's Boys

De: Jacqueline Woodson

Narrado por: Dulé Hill

Nothing is like it used to be. If it were, Mama would still be alive. Papa wouldn’t have died. And Charlie would still be the same old loving big brother to 13-year-old Lafayette, not a hostile stranger, just back from doing time at a correctional facility. Oldest brother, Ty’ree, would have gone to college, instead of having to work full-time to support the three of them. And Lafayette wouldn’t be so full of questions, like why Mama had to die, why Charlie hates him so much now, and how they’re all supposed to survive these times together when so much seems to be set against them.

Jacqueline Woodson brings us the story of three remarkable young men—brothers who have only each other to rely on and must decide whether they’ll work with that or let it tear them apart.

Tear jerker!

I enjoyed this book and the narrator was great. I read this book because its a required text for my ninth grade students. I think this story is something my group of students and/or someone they know may be able to relate to.

Amazing

I really need to get this book done and using this made it is much more easy and make it easier for me to understand it.

Clean and value filled literature

Great teaching opportunity for teenagers on the value of family, second chances and sacrificing for loved ones. Narration is in keeping with current challenges faced by young adults. My 13 year old enjoyed listening and I am sure benefited from the message. Really appreciated the fact that this book did not have any obscenities which is something hard to find in books geared for younger readers.

Beautiful

This woman can write! I read this book in print several years ago, and enjoyed finding and hearing it on audible. Jackie is a treasure. Her stories and characters are filled with all that is loving and kind and human in all of us. I am looking forward to what she writes next.

Amazing

Dule Hill is a genius in this audio version of this book. I purchased this book for my 9th grade struggling readers to listen to as they read along to the novel in class. COMPLETELY WORTH EVERY PENNY. My students were engaged, interested, and loved coming to class on days when I let Dule read to them instead of me!
