AN EXCEPTIONAL CHILD

By: VINCENT MORRIS, GENERATION NEXT

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

DESCRIPTION Bishop Marshall, the most intelligent thirteen – year – old in the country, is sent to an elite school with the most exceptional black minds of the 21st cen-tury. He is expected to excel on multiple levels and use his gifts to advance his people. Despite a repeated mantra by faculty and leadership to come together, Bishop deals with the pressures of puberty, fitting in, unhealthy competition, and hate within his own. During his time at Freedom Academy, he encounters an adversary from a well to do family that made a billion dollars in the stock market. The Lancaster’s are more about conquering and destroying everything in their path, than coming together for the greater good. This bleeds into the competition of their son’s for academic supremacy, causing conflict not only within Freedom Academy but the families themselves. With the assistance of his mother Brianna, Bishop’s father becomes a self- made man. His construction company reaches millionaire status due to hard work, sweat, and support of the people. The Marshall’s are given an oppor-tunity to live in an all – black, affluent suburb, which they think is progres-sion, but merely just masked oppression. In reality, the neighborhood houses sellouts, modern day house niggers, and agents to please the master. This sets forth a chain of events that grabs you and doesn’t let go. “Will Bishop ever fit in and does he belong here?” “Should his family have stayed in the hood?” “Will Bishop make a difference to the school?” “Will his family lose their identity and join the ranks of the elite?” “Can anyone be happy?” These questions and more are answered in An Exceptional Child, a unique and in-depth look into success, class, race, greed, corruption, and pursuit of the American dream through the eyes of a child. A must read.

Horrible virtual voice

It was a mistake to use virtual voice. I can’t finish this with all the mispronunciation and offbeat speech. The worst. I hope this not the wave of the future for audiobooks. Please find Ellis Park and have him do this over ASAP!
