Kinda Like Brothers

By: Coe Booth

Narrated by: John Clarence Stewart

Jarrett doesn't trust Kevon.

But he's got to share a room with him anyway.

It was one thing when Jarrett's mom took care of foster babies who needed help. But this time it's different. This time the baby who needs help has an older brother - a kid Jarrett's age named Kevon. Everyone thinks Jarrett and Kevon should be friends - but that's not gonna happen. Not when Kevon's acting like he's better than Jarrett - and not when Jarrett finds out Kevon's keeping some major secrets. Jarrett doesn't think it's fair that he has to share his room, his friends, and his life with some stranger. He's gotta do something about it - but what? From award-winning author Coe Booth, Kinda Like Brothers is the story of two boys who really don't get along - but have to find a way to figure it out.

Engaging Coming of Age Story

Any additional comments?

A fascinating glimpse into the lives of two young men, Kevon and Jarrett, and how through their separate, yet both difficult, family experiences they learn essential qualities to become strong men. John Clarence Stewart's narration is engaging, a natural story teller he is, and he draws you into the story as if you were experiencing it first hand. I highly recommend a listen!

Wonderful Narrator Performance!

What did you like best about this story?

The bottom line here is - acceptance. How do we learn to accept each other and learn to live with one another peacefully and respectfully? Not only learning to appreciate people for their differences, but also do so while growing up and finding out who you are. This would be a great book for children around age 8 and for school and any scholastic-related programs.

Any additional comments?

The narration on this book was so fabulous - John Clarence Stewart really made the characters jump off the page and brought them to life. I felt like I was with them in the moment, not just listening to a story. And with the diversity of this book, he captured the essence of the story. Great voice - very inviting and engaging!
