Solo by Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess is a New York Times bestseller Kirkus Reviews said Solo is, "A contemporary hero's journey, brilliantly told." Through the story of a young Black man searching for answers about his life, Solo empowers, engages, and encourages teenagers to move from heartache to healing, burden to blessings, depression to deliverance, and trials to triumphs.
Blade never asked for a life of the rich and famous. In fact, he'd give anything not to be the son of Rutherford Morrison, a washed-up rock star and drug addict with delusions of a comeback. Or to no longer be part of a family known most for lost potential, failure, and tragedy, including the loss of his mother. The one true light is his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father.
In reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the music that lives inside them. And songwriting is all Blade has left after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. But when a long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. In its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and love he's been searching for, or leave him feeling even more adrift.

I see why the ladies go crazy for these 😂
Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Peony, Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Peony
Bought this for my daughter as a ten year olds birthday request. She wanted pink or purple in 32 or 40oz that’s it but being me, I figure she needed some stuff to go with it 😆! It was $45 for the 40oz Peony Pink color. I thought the lilac was also gorgeous but this pink stood out so strongly and in stores they only carry the hot pink 40oz that has an orange logo on it. I don’t think it’s as attractive as the one o bought and I don’t think she enjoys orange either. It’s sturdy and sleek and comfortable in the hands. The screws were standing out so heavily as fine quality upon notice. No scratches or scuff. Super clean. No Oder!!! Thank God!!! I hate strong oders. It does have gaps where you can easily see it’ll leak if it’s full and you tip it over but being the dad that I am i bought the stoppers as well and they fit so snug. Could still leak but it’s not supposed to be upside down so like… who cares? And seriously you really have to work hard at getting it in a position that causes it to leak. The stoppers I bought for snuggly so I’m very satisfied with the leak stoppers I bought on Amazon, I left a video of the before and after installing them in the other sellers review section. I would know how to link this one to that one but hope you find it and that it helps. But if you don’t buy the stoppers, Honestly get over it nothing is literally perfect except Jesus so just enjoy the cup, it’s phenomenal even without the stoppers. The stainless steel or titanium is what it actually looks like is superb by the look and the feel!!! The pink paint is gorgeous!!! Taylor Swift probably made that song about this Stanley 🤷🏾♂️ I seriously wouldn’t be surprised. I have no cons for you honestly. It’s a wonderful buy and I get it now why she wanted one and why my girl friend also desires a Stanley. I really questioned why that brand of all brands like it’s just a cup, like it’s not that serious?! 🧐 but low and behold! Boy! It is that serious and for the price amazing and again, I could not find this color anywhere in the real world. So thanks Amazon! Thanks to the seller and thank you Jesus we have the internet and apps that make life easier for everyday day citizens like you dear reader who took the time out to read my long winded commentaries 😂. Hope this and the pics and videos help you making your decision. I’m fully intending to buy one for myself in some bold manly color if I can find one.
If your worried if it’s fake or not, you can compare them to the others online:
#1 Screws are located underneath the handle and are aligned well. Using the same metal as the inside of the drinking canister which is really think is titanium and not stainless steel actually. Because it’s definitely superior grade quality. Trust me you’ll know the difference looking inside it 😆
#2 the straw comes in the cup already with no separate packaging and is the same semi-cloudy tone as the upper lip of the cup and is not totally transparent or translucent.
#3 the inner canister of the metal bottom will have an etched in recycled sign at the very bottom.
#4 the Lion logo on bottom of cup.
#5 the Lion logo on upper half of the cup will be about an inch or so from the lip of the cup while a fake will be two to three inches lower, much further from the lip of the cup.
#6 the top of the cup handle will be super close to the top of the stainless steel part while a fake will be noticeably further from the top of the top (like inches or so away from the lip of the cup).
So this one is real! And I highly recommend it!

Great water cup
Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Peony, Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Peony
Love this water cup! I like to use it around the house. I like how much water it holds, because I drink a lot of water. The color selection of these cups is really good too; I went with the peony cup. It is very vibrant and bold in color. I would say as for on the go, they can get pretty heavy if walking with it full of water, so maybe not the best choice if you are travelling by foot and carrying it. One thing I will say is that this keeps the water VERY cold for a long period of time! Definitely good in that aspect. The handle is very pleasant to hold too, as it has a soft silicon-like material along the handle, and feels very sturdy and thick. I do wish that the straw was more clear, but that isnt too hard to replace. If you want a water cup for around the house, I would reccommend

Great purchase
Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Rose Quartz 2.0
I was a Stanley skeptic. I couldn’t understand what the big deal was or why the internet was freaking out. I saw the video of the Stanley cup surviving the car fire (and I think the ice was still inside). So I tried it.
I drink SO much more water now! I love decorating my Stanley with all the fun accessories and it holds a nice amount of water. It feels durable and good quality.
I’ve had my Stanley for a year now and I’m even considering getting another so I can have one while the other is being washed. They are easy to clean as well because of the metal inside.
There are two issues I’ve had since I got the Stanley cup. Once it was dropped, and the lid broke. Easy to buy more so not the biggest issue. The cup survived the fall just fine, not a mark on it.
The other issue I keep having is my lid gets stuck and becomes hard for me to open sometimes. I have a bad thumb and wrist so often I have to have my spouse open it for me.
It keeps my water cold all day. If I put ice in before I go to sleep it’s still cold in the morning. I love these cups and would recommend them to anyone looking to drink more water. If you like your water bottle you will drink more water and want to bring it with you.

Very strong and cute tumbler
Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Rose Quartz 2.0, Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Rose Quartz 2.0
Great quencher to get. I got this for my self and I love it so much. It's super cute and the color I got is a light soft pink. The size is big which is great since I like having enough coffee to last me all day. It keeps my drinks cold and warm or what ever temperature it is for a good amount of time which is great for anyone who is out for long periods of time. The quality overall is very good. The handle is big, comfortable and easy to grip and the quencher fits perfectly on my gym bag. Only downside is that it did get a smudge on it after I removed the paper that it had on the bottom. I tried removing the smudge it feels sticky like glue but it didnt get removed so I had to put a sticker over it to cover it up.
