  In the companion to her acclaimed So Done, Paula Chase follows best friends Simp and Rollie as their friendship is threatened by the pressures of basketball, upcoming auditions, middle school, and their growing involvement in the local drug ring. 
  Dough Boys is a memorably vivid story about the complex friendship between two African American boys whose lives are heading down very different paths. For fans of Jason Reynolds’s Ghost and Rebecca Stead’s Goodbye Stranger. 
  Deontae “Simp” Wright has big plans for his future. Plans that involve basketball, his best friend, Rollie, and making enough money to get his mom and four younger brothers out of the Cove, their low-income housing project. 
  Long term, this means the NBA. Short term, it means being a dough boy—getting paid to play lookout and eventually moving up the rungs of the neighborhood drug operation with Rollie as his partner. 
  Roland “Rollie” Matthews used to love playing basketball. He loved the rhythm of the game, how he came up with his best drumbeats after running up and down the court. But playing with the elite team comes with extra, illegal responsibilities, and Rollie isn't sure he's down for that life. The new talented-and-gifted program, where Rollie has a chance to audition for a real-life go-go band, seems like the perfect excuse to stop being a dough boy. But how can he abandon his best friend? 
  Paula Chase explores universal themes of friendship and budding romance, while also exploring complex issues that affect many young teens. Full of basketball, friendship, and daily life in a housing project, this universal story is perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds’s Track series, Jewell Parker Rhodes’s Ghost Boys, and Chris Crutcher.

  Editorial Review Rating: 5 Stars  
  Katz Kan!!! is a fun and educational story that explores new realms and teaches young readers about environmental protection from a fresh perspective. The story also has themes of family, love, and joy. My favourite part of this tale was the characters. Pete Katz and his family are just like any other modern family. They have hardworking parents and children who love the latest music and trending video games. There is also a message about missing home and the heartbreak of losing everything and starting afresh. The characters’ emotions were conveyed beautifully, and readers will resonate with their struggles. Overall, Katz Kan!!! is a well-rounded story that will spark children's imaginations while imparting valuable life lessons. I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend adding it to your children’s bookshelves.
