"As innovative as it is emotionally arresting." —Entertainment Weekly

From National Book Award finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes a novel told in ten blocks, showing all the different directions kids walks home can take.

This story was going to begin like all the best stories. With a school bus falling from the sky. But no one saw it happen. They were all too busy—

Talking about boogers.
Stealing pocket change.
Skateboarding.
Wiping out.
Braving up.
Executing complicated handshakes.
Planning an escape.
Making jokes.
Lotioning up.
Finding comfort.
But mostly, too busy walking home.

Jason Reynolds conjures ten tales (one per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings, and brilliantly weaves them into one wickedly funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we face on the walk home, and in life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jason Reynolds

Jason Reynolds nasceu em 1983, em Washington, D. C. Encontrou inspiração no rap para começar a escrever poesia aos nove anos de idade e é hoje um conceituado autor de ficção e poesia para jovens e adultos. Os seus livros receberam vários prémios e nomeações. Ghost (ed. Fábula, 2019) foi finalista do National Book Award, bestseller do New York Times e considerado um dos melhores livros de 2016 pela Kirkus e pela Publishers Weekly.
O desejo de Reynolds é nunca escrever livros chatos. «Isto é o que eu sei: há muitos — MUITOS — jovens que odeiam ler. Eu sei que muitos desses inimigos de livros são rapazes. Eu sei que muitos desses rapazes que odeiam livros, na verdade, não odeiam livros, odeiam o tédio.»
