Help us understand where he's growing up. SIMON: Lolly writes, (reading) near the top where I live, it's all about borders and territories and crews. Moore joins us from New York.ĭAVID BARCLAY MOORE: Thank you for having me, Scott. "The Stars Beneath Our Feet" is the first novel by David Barclay Moore, former communications coordinator for Harlem Children's Zone. The small plastic blocks may become a foundation to help him through life. But his mother's girlfriend becomes a kind of Santa Claus when she brings home two enormous sacks of legos. When David Barclay Moore's new novel for young readers "The Stars Beneath Our Feet" opens, Lolly is angry and sad and doesn't feel much like celebrating Christmas. He lives in Harlem, where his older brother was shot to death in a gang crime.


Lolly Rachpaul is 12 years old and a Lego master.
