Her only consolation has been working on\nPhantasy Philly, a special build she and her team will present at a huge\nMinecraft convention in just a few weeks. Nzinga, her brother Samir, and her\ncousin Jannah have decided to recreate and reimagine a blocky version of their\nold Philadelphia street. Now that summer is here, Nzinga can’t wait to return\nto the old neighborhood and finish their build.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut when Nzinga and Samir arrive at their grandmom’s house, things aren’t how\nshe pictured. Jannah, usually a design whiz, seems distracted and unwilling to\nwork on their project. Incessant drilling can be heard all hours of the day as\nnew apartments are constructed, replacing beloved parts of their street. The\nconstant noise makes it hard to think straight, let alone get anything done.\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNzinga sees how noise pollution and redevelopment are hurting the street, but\nwhat can she do about it? And how is she supposed to fight that battle while\nalso inspiring her team to build their ideal Minecraft neighborhood? As Nzinga\nstruggles to answer these questions, she may just learn how even the quietest\nvoices can have the biggest impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJamilah Thompkins-Bigelow\u003c\/b\u003e, MSEd, is a former English\nteacher who has educated children and teens for fifteen years.
