Synopsis: 
A humorous and heartwarming bounce-to-the-beat underdog story about a young rapper whose rhymes help bring his community together.

Eleven-year-old Simon Barnes dreams of becoming a world-famous rapper that everyone calls Notorious D.O.G. But for now, he’s just a Chicago fifth grader who’s small for his age and afraid to use his voice.

Simon prefers to lay low at school and at home, even though he’s constantly spitting rhymes in his head. But when his new teacher assigns the class an oral presentation on something that affects their community, Simon must face his fears.

With some help from an unexpected ally and his neighborhood crew, will Simon gain the confidence to rap his way to an A and prove that one kid can make a difference in his ‘hood?

My Thoughts:
A fun wholesome family read! I read this to my son and he loved it! My son is 7 years old and he had a blast with this book. Simon and his friends were all so fun and the musical aspect was everything. I loved the topics discussed as far as stereotypes and prejudice. This was a book that read similar to Jason Reynold's YA novel but with a MG feel to it. I adored it. I would highly recommend it!
