More About This Book

Overview

The acclaimed author of TYRELL and KENDRA returns to PUSH to continue Tyrell's astonishing story.

Tyrell's father is just out of jail, and Tyrell doesn't know how to deal with that. It's bad enough that his brother Troy is in foster care and that his mother is no help whatsoever. Now there's another thing up in his face, just when he's trying to settle down. Tyrell's father has plans of his own, and doesn't seem to care whether or not Tyrell wants to go along with them. Tyrell can see the crash that's coming -- with his dad, with the rest of his family, with the girls he's seeing -- but he's not sure he can stop it. Or if he even wants to.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
In this sequel to Booth's first book about life in the Bronx (Tyrell, 2007 Scholastic), Tyrell is anticipating the release of his "Pops" from prison and the changes this will bring to his present lifestyle—checking on his kid brother in foster care, living with two brothers who deal drugs, and DJing at parties on the East Coast, courtesy of Pops's friend who travels between the City and Atlanta but never actually reveals what he does. And then, his Pops does not even contact him the day he gets out. Was he discharged or not? What kind of game is he playing? While he is waiting for the ax to drop, Tyrell is dealing with his three different girl relationships—ex-, friend, and hottie. Tyrell's coming-of-age story is graphic, involving his fantasies about women, his father's push to control him, his concerns about his drug dealer best friend who gets severely beaten by people on the street, his dad's and the amateur drug lord's attempt to control him, and his desire to continue being the real dad of the family. Finally, he rats on his mom; his Pops beats her up, and the "happy home" they are ready to show social services clearly does not exist. Tyrell, who was almost ready to accept Pops's authority instead takes on his best friend Jasmine and offers her a life away from her older protector/predator. This book does contain some hope Reviewer: Elisabeth Greenberg
VOYA
In the author's first book, Tyrell (Push, 2007/VOYA April 2007), the titular character struggles to hold his family together while his father is incarcerated. In this sequel, his father's release only makes Tyrell's life more complicated. Tyrell has rented a small apartment for his mother while living with some friends in the projects. He has carefully stayed out of their family drug-selling business and made some money DJ-ing with his dad's equipment. His little brother, Troy, is still in foster care, but Tyrell has visited him often. With dad back in the picture, Tyrell has a hard time figuring out his role in the family. Who is responsible for protecting his mother? How can he continue to earn money without selling drugs if his father keeps all the DJ equipment locked away? Can he move back in with his parents without giving up his manhood? And most importantly, how can he protect Troy from being destroyed by their parents' selfishness and unreliability? This book is primarily about father—son relationships. Tyrell's relationship with his dad is at the forefront, but the theme is explored throughout; older brothers acting as father figures, family friends stepping in when a biological father is absent, and teen fatherhood are all examined. Booth paints a vivid picture of urban African American life without relying on stereotypes or cliches. This book is recommended for teens who like urban fiction or who may be interested in taking a closer look at what it means to be a father or a son. Reviewer: Liz Sundermann

School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—In Tyrell (Scholastic, 2006), the teen dumped the girl who lied to him and left his mother to her own devices. He set up a new life in Bronxwood, crashing with two friends who are heavily involved in drug dealing. Now his father's out of prison and wants to reunite the family, but Tyrell finds the rules and posturing too much to handle and stays out on his own. He quickly realizes that without his own DJ equipment, he can't make the money he needs to support himself and take care of his girlfriend, Jasmine. When the decision comes down to what's best for his little brother, Troy, and what's best for Tyrell, the tough choice will change his life. Returning to the inner-city setting that is as much a character as any of the individuals, Booth builds up the conflict brought on by Tyrell's temptations—the drug dealers are more violent and persuasive, the girls are more enticing, and the family dynamics are more charged. Action scenes combine with interpersonal exchanges to keep the pace moving forward at a lightning speed, but Booth never sacrifices the street-infused dialogue and emotional authenticity that characterize her works. She has created a compelling tale of a teen still trying to make the right choices despite the painful consequences.—Chris Shoemaker, New York Public Library
Kirkus Reviews

Booth returns to the gritty and dangerous Bronx projects to pick up the memorable story of Tyrell seven months after the conclusion ofTyrell(2006).

With his father out of jail, the now 16-year-old Tyrell has mixed feelings about having him back. "Two men in one house don't work." Tyrell tried keeping his family together while his pops was locked up, but he failed: Troy, his younger brother, is living in foster care. "...I know I fucked up," he confides to readers. Booth packs a lot into this story: Tyrell's guilt about Troy, his resentment toward his irresponsible father, his blossoming romantic relationship with friend Jasmine who is living with a 40-year-old man and his anger over his mother's infidelity. The author captures the dangers of inner-city life as readers follow a teen trying desperately to be a man as he watches his friends and, especially, his father, make right or wrong choices. Despite the multitude of negative influences, Tyrell, who is no saint, attempts to make a better life for himself. Tyrell's fresh voice and his frank talk about sex, drug use and violence give authenticity to the dismal urban setting.

This book can stand alone, but the cliffhanger ending begs another installment; 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.(Fiction. 14 & up)

    Devastatingly awesome

    Coe Booth has been one of my very favorite storytellers ever since I read Tyrell. Kendra also was magnificent. Bronxwood blew me away. Every word coming from Tyrell's mind rings so true. I could be walking in my neighborhood, hearing 16-yr old kids talk. Coe never judges her characters. She lets them be who they are. She never preaches or tries to teach a lesson. She lets you decide for yourself whether or not the characters are on the right track. Whether or not you "like" what the characters are up to, you love them. You feel for them in such an immediate way. You laugh with them a lot too--the humor is so great, relayed by a wise soul of a writer. Coe's ear for dialogue, her characters' voices--all remarkable. And she gives the characters a fast-placed plot to live in. Bronxwood is devastatingly awesome, an absolutely phenomenal read. I loved this book. -Paul Griffin, NYC, 10-15-2011
