INCLUDES AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR!

An ode to Put the Damn Guns Down, that is New York Occasions bestseller Jason Reynolds’s fiercely stunning novel that occurs in sixty powerful seconds-the time it requires a kid to decide whether or not he’s going to murder the guy who wiped out his brother.

A cannon. A strap.

A piece. A biscuit.

A burner. A heating unit.

A chopper. A gat.

A hammer

A tool

for RULE

Or, you can contact it a gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the trunk waistband of his jeans. See, his sibling Shawn was just murdered. AND CAN knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s right now heading, with this gun shoved in the trunk waistband of his denims, the weapon that was his brother’s gun. He gets around the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He understands who he’s after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the 6th ground, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is certainly who provided Shawn the weapon before Will took the weapon. Buck tells Will to check on that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will views that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Can didn’t know that Shawn had ever in fact USED his weapon. Bigger huh. BUCK Is usually Deceased. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just like Will’s trying to believe this through, the entranceway to the next ground starts. A teenage young lady gets on, waves aside the smoke cigarettes from Deceased Buck’s cigarette. Will doesn’t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they had been eight. And stray bullets experienced cut through the playground, and can had attempted to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she really wants to know, on that fifth ground elevator stop, is usually, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the trunk waistband of his skinny jeans, MISSES.

Therefore it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, with each stop somebody linked to his brother gets to give Will a piece to a larger story compared to the one he feels he knows. A tale that might under no circumstances know an END…if WILL gets off that elevator.

Told in a nutshell, brutal staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is an easy and furious, dazzlingly outstanding look at teenage weapon violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.
