He's gotta do something about it -- but what?From award-winning author Coe Booth, Kinda Like Brothers is the story of two boys who really don't get along -- but have to find a way to figure it out.

Review

Praise for Coe Booth's Kinda Like Brothers:"Excellent." --Booklist"Realistic and engaging . . . A solid story about dealing with problems that threaten to overwhelm and the importance putting one's own personal pain aside to understand the pain of another." --School Library JournalPraise for Coe Booth's Bronxwood:"Readers who have been with Tyrell from the beginning as well as those meeting him for the first time will be utterly invested in his future." --Kirkus Reviews"Tyrell tells his own story in language that never misses in its gritty authenticity." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"A compelling tale of a teen still trying to make the right choices despite the painful consequences." --School Library Journal"Booth paints a vivid picture of urban African American life." --VOYAPraise for Coe Booth's Tyrell:A 2007 LA Times Book Prize Winner for Young Adult FictionAn ALA Best Book for Young Adults"A gritty and gripping first novel." --The New York Times Book Review* "Heartbreakingly realistic. . . . Unlike many books reflecting the contemporary street scene, this one is more than just a pat situation with a glib resolution; it's filled with surprising twists and turns that continue to the end." --Booklist, starred review"The definitive tale of the modern African American urban youth." --VOYA

    Kinda Like Brothers by Coe Booth was a very invigorating book about two kids Jarrett Crawford and Kevon Underwood having to get use to doing everything together. This was hard for Jarrett because when his mom took in a new foster baby he had to deal with Kevon as well. This book makes me feel like I’m grateful to be in a situation where I don’t have to worry about spying on a foster kid to know about his past.

    I was able to put this book down and walk away a couple of times, it didn’t capture me in a way that I could not put down.
    I did like that I could relate to the feelings Jarrett had throughout the book, especially his nervousness with Caprice and acceptance of Ennis
    However I feel like the end of the book left a lot of things unresolved. Several things were implied, but never told outright and as a children’s book I think this could be difficult for kids to pick up on.
