From award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Kwame Alexander, with Mary Rand Hess, comes Single, a YA novel written in poetic verse. Single tells the storyline of 17-year-old Cutting tool Morrison, who is aware of the life of an rock star isn't really about the glitz and glamour. All the new vehicles and money in the entire world can't replace the scathing tabloid ranges or the fact that his daddy is struggling with just about every addiction under sunlight - including a desperate desire to make a comeback and get back his former popularity. Haunted by remembrances of his mom - who passed away when Cutting tool was nine - and the damage his father's washed-up legacy and life have taken to the family, Cutting tool is left to determine life on his own. But he's not all on it's own: He's got the friendship of an jazz-musician coach, Robert; the secret love of an lover, Chapel; and his music. All may well not be well in the Morrison home, but things want up for Cutting tool until he discovers a deeply secured family technique - the one that further threatens his relationship with his family and has him questioning his own personality. Thrown into a tailspin, Cutting tool decides the only path he will understand his past and get started his future is to discover the reality behind the music and himself. He soon models from a quest that changes everything he thought to be true. His pursuit lands him in Ghana, jammed in a village just shy of where answers to the secret can be found. There Cutting tool discovers a camaraderie he couldn't have thought, a people founded in family and community, and a reconciliation he never expected. With his personal intricacy, intimacy, and poetic style, Kwame Alexander explores what it means to finally come home. Music performed by Randy Preston.
