From National Publication Honor finalist and NY Times bestselling writer Jason Reynolds comes a novel told in ten blocks, displaying all the different directions a walk house can take.
This story would begin like all the best stories. Having a college bus falling through the sky. But no-one noticed it happen. They were all too occupied—
Discussing boogers.
Stealing pocket modification.
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 10 tales (one particular per stop) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings, and brilliantly weaves them into 1 wickedly funny, piercingly poignant go through the detours we encounter around the walk house, and in life.
