From National Book Honor finalist and NY Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes a book told in ten blocks, displaying all the different directions a walk house can take.
This story was going to begin like all the best stories. Having a school bus falling in the sky. But no-one saw it happen. They were all too busy—
Discussing boogers.
Stealing pocket modification.
Skateboarding.
Wiping out.
Braving up.
Executing difficult handshakes.
Planning an escape.
Making jokes.
Lotioning up.
Finding comfort.
But mostly, too busy walking home.
Jason Reynolds conjures ten tales (a single per stop) in what happens after the dismissal bell rings, and brilliantly weaves them into 1 wickedly funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we encounter within the walk home, and in lifestyle.
