Summary

Summary

Blackboard best-selling author Bertice Berry delivers an entertaining cautionary tale. Everything hip-hop music producer "Freedom" Hudson touches turns to gold. But when he buys a haunted brownstone in Harlem, he gets an earful from a group of ghosts. One of the spirits, an African drummer whose life was destroyed by slavery, has a warning for Freedom: We've passed the drum to you-now use it to send the right message.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A nimble social commentator, Berry wisely eschews clichés and delivers a powerful story with a message that should not be lost.” Essence
“Underneath the gothic trappings is a meditation on the price of forgetting history. Like a Bill Withers song, Berry’s writing is infused with an aching nostalgia for an earlier time, when there was ‘more to life than what we could see, touch, hear, or feel.’” Publishers Weekly
“A delightful tale…J. D. Jackson’s voice envelops the listener, perfectly capturing the African’s patois, the musician’s groove, and the attitude of contemporary African American street culture.” AudioFile
“Interesting…sure to give young adults something to think and talk about.” Booklist
