Review: Long Way Down

Long Way Down Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dang...I hope this is getting talked about at the Printz table! Sure, it's the kind of story that will suck you in, but some of the poetry is darn good, too. Novels written in verse are always tricky. I wish the publisher had done a bit more with the "smoke" on the pages--a different color or something than the font? Thicker paper with more of a reason behind the smudges?

At the end, I wanted to yell, "NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Wish I could hear some students discussing this one.....
