Andre's father is currently in the hospital with COVID, and his grandpa is dead. Now, Andre isn't just worrying about COVID; he is now worrying about the Black Lives Matter movement. Andre, unfortunately, has to deal with two of these now. Hopefully, COVID and this Black Lives Matter thing are over with soon, so that Andre won't have to worry about that anymore.

At this point in the story, Andre's grandpa has passed away, and his father currently has COVID-19. By now, Andre hopes that his dad will get better, and he will stop grieving the loss of his grandpa. Unfortunately, Andre then finds himself handcuffed with the police again for a reason he doesn't know. Hopefully, Andre will not get sent back to juvie again. That's not possible, right?

At this point in the story, unfortunately, Andre's uncle has COVID. Andre now hopes that this COVID-19 pandemic will end soon because everything has been shut down all summer. Andre thought that now that he's out of jail, he could socialize and go to the park all summer! However, because of COVID, he unfortunately had to change his plans.

At this point in the story, COVID-19 has shut down the entire United States. Now that school has also shut down, Andre has to do his schoolwork from his own house. The bad news is that Andre is now so bored that he thinks he might have to go back to juvie just because he believes it would be more productive there. Hopefully, Dante will find more productive things to do besides going to the park or being at school.

At this point in the story, Andre is now starting to get a better sense of the COVID-19 pandemic. At first, Andre doesn't really make such a big deal about the pandemic. But now that he has seen a whole bunch of news and word about it, he really starts to soak it all in. It's nice to see how the book connects with real life.

In this part of the story. Andre meets a boy who is about the same age as him, named Boogie. Boogie laughs, jokes around, and does about all the same things that Andre does. It almost seems like Andre is finally finding someone to be buds with after he was in juvie.

At this point in the story, it talks about politics and how Andre reacts to the COVID-19 pandemic. I also love how the story connects to realistic things from the past and real-life people.

The story starts with a teenager named Andre Jackson. Andre was a kid who was arrested and held in a juvenile detention center for a while. Now Andre is out of the detention center and is being held in foster care. As you can tell, Andre is going to have a tough time getting his life back together.
