Born and raised in Bensonhurst Brooklyn, Renzo has always been the craziest kid on the block: always first to sink a boat, to steal a car or to egg-bombard an unlucky cop. However, as he grows up, all his “stunts”, fearlessness and great personality attracts the attention of underground rulers of the heavily mob-associated neighborhood. Now Renzo and his friends have to decide for themselves if they want to become a part of the “family”… or create their own Brooklyn Boys “family”, where the first rule is that there are no rules. Impossible to put down, The Brooklyn Boys Club is like a roller-coaster ride that will open the Italian-American side of New York City to you on a completely different level: you will laugh out loud, you’ll hold your breath and in the end you’ll fall in love with Renzo and his daredevils, who laugh in the face of danger and never play it safe or by the rules.

Ellie is excellent at diving into crazy stories about a Mob family and turning them into a page turner, making your wonder what they will do next. Renzo is learning the business and is always trying to better himself. Whether it's taking boating classes to be "recklessly safe" or learning to to steal cars and outwit cops, he takes his job very seriously. The stories are just hilarious and his friends were just as wide eyed as me when it happened!
Super good and super fast read!! I love Ellie's style of writing and I can't wait to read more of her books!!!
