A moving rendition that stands on its own ― Kirkus

From start to finish the book is a constant rollercoaster of emotions. The watercolour style of Danica Novgorodoff adds a confused and chaotic vibe to the pages, which echoes the poetic words of Jason Reynolds perfectly ― Comics in Class

Reynolds' gift is in the ability to write how children think ― Books for Keeps

AND THEN THERE WERE SHOTS

Everybody

ran,

ducked,

hid, tucked

themselves tight.

Pressed our lips to the

pavement and prayed

the boom, followed by

the buzz of a bullet,

didn't meet us.

After Will's brother is shot in a gang crime, he knows the next steps. Don't cry. Don't snitch. Get revenge. So he gets in the lift with Shawn's gun, determined to follow The Rules. Only when the lift door opens, Buck walks in, Will's friend who died years ago. And Dani, who was shot years before that. As more people from his past arrive, Will has to ask himself if he really knows what he's doing.

This haunting, lyrical, powerful verse novel will blow you away.

Jason Reynolds is a critically acclaimed American writer and poet and winner of the Kirkus Prize for Young Readers.

From Jason: "Here's what I know: I know there are a lot - A LOT - of young people who hate reading. I know that many of these book haters are boys. I know that many of these book-hating boys, don't actually hate books, they hate boredom. So here's what I plan to do: NOT WRITE BORING BOOKS. "
