Conscious Bands

     

I’d thought I’d write a short blog about Conscious Bands, which are an important factor in Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang.  A Conscious Band is a necklace, usually with a round, leather medallion with the continent of Africa in the middle.  They are striped black, green, yellow and red which are popular colors for African flags and have different meanings behind them. Conscious Bands represented a Free South Africa-- or being conscious to the struggle that was happening in South Africa.

Conscious Bands became popular in the late 80’s and early 90’s when many hip-hop artists also wore them.  People could find them in many African imports shops in the 90’s but in 2012, searches for the phrase Conscious Bands turned up very little information and images for them.  Now, at the end of days, it will be Andrew who will be held responsible for the Conscious Band Incident. In Leech Mob, Andrew introduces Conscious Bands to Kelly who goes on to wear one, which sparks some controversy among the different gangs.

Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is pure entertainment

Hey Guys,

After 8 years of writing Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang, I believe that it’s finally ready for ya! I promise you, your high school teachers will hate it –which means they’ll never assign you Leech Mob homework, so you have to be daring enough to read it on your own

         But what’s the novel about, you ask?  Basically kids torturing each other.  We do what we do best.  We get into street fights, we pull school pranks, we go to cool raves.  You’ll learn how to make poon-tang–not what you think.  Wait!  I think I should say here that you shouldn’t try anything that you read in this novel.  We got arrested a bunch of times–not good on the old college application!  So, this ain’t your regular novel.

Leech Mob Novel Appeals to Teens and to Reluctant Readers

Even though the school system tried to kill me, I survived because our gang was a cool bunch of friends who always had each other’s back in an otherwise unfriendly world. Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang is the wisdom about growing up that I was able to get across enemy lines.  I leave it in the hands of you kids now, so start reading!

         What? You don’t like reading books?  Well, neither do I if you’re talking about most of the boring novels we were assigned to read in high school. But Leech Mob is altogether different.  It’s about high school kids who are experimenting with being adults.  We make lots of mistakes, but our lives go on.  Yep, there is some violence in the book, but the fights are real rather than glorified.  No one walks away a hero, and not everyone walks away.

Hey Girls,

Have you ever felt dissed by a guy?  If so, then there are several chapters in Leech Mob: A Novel about a Connecticut Gang that might interest you about high school dating.

Being the new kid in high school, Kelly Hayes fights the bullies in Leech Mob Novel

It’s not easy being the new kid – especially when you’re new to high school and everyone has known each other - like - since the first grade. I know - cause I was in that predicament myself.   I had barely stepped off the school bus when I was in a fight on the first day of school. But the teachers didn’t want to spend any time investigating the incident.  They just assumed that I caused it rather than the school’s elite - a bunch of preps, jocks, and honor roll kids.  It’s weird how a thing like that can seem to go on for rest of your life! So read the book and decide if you agree or not.
