For 50 years, I’ve been listening to my husband’s stories about growing up on San Diego’s Mission Bay when it was more of a small fishing village than the popular resort it is now...

Powell's Picks of the Month

Hot new releases and under-the-radar gems for adults and kids.


Staff Pick

Fifth grader Simon loves rhyming, just not in front of other people. His new teacher is young and raps (cool) but the first assignment is a presentation (not cool). This fun and original novel is about a young man finding the courage to show the world who he is. Recommended By Jennifer H., Powells.com

Publisher Comments

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?

Review

Review

"Upbeat and heartfelt, Simon B. Rhymin' is a sure-fire hit!" Lincoln Peirce, New York Times bestselling creator of Big Nate and Max & the Midknights

Review

"A heartwarming tale that combines Black boy joy with community connection." Kirkus Reviews
