Critic reviews

"Ten African-American narrators read these ten interconnected stories, and their performances are uniformly excellent, bringing the cast of characters to vivid life.... Author Reynolds's vibrant language, delivered by the narrator ensemble with style, makes every situation and detail - whether funny, outlandish, sad, or tender - feel genuine, relatable, and full of heart. Reynolds reads the final chapter himself, a poetic conclusion that connects all of the threads in this perfect middle-grade novel." (AudioFile Magazine)

Featured Article: The Best Audiobooks Under 4 Hours


Time—there's never enough of it in a day. Most of us wish we had more time to get things done, or more hours to do the things we enjoy—reading a book, for instance. That's what makes audiobooks an excellent option for busy people: they're perfect for multitasking. Many audiobooks are several hours long, but if you're in the mood to listen to a story in one sitting, there are plenty of shorter audiobooks to be found. Want to fit a stellar audiobook into your busy schedule? All of these listens come in just under four hours, so you can enjoy them in one or two sessions.

At first it seemed disjointed but as I read and listened it all came together as the students names and actions made it all stick together like glue. I think I laughed for about five to ten minutes straight when the kids were getting their friend all shiny with lotion and vapor rub up to ask a girl for her number. Too cute!

Great !

I truly enjoyed this, my 5 Jason Reynolds book! It was full of humor, shenanigans,& MG heart! Short stories are my jam and I love the way Reynolds linked the stories without being obvious to meet publishing standards. I loved the variety in voices on page & in narration. A Good time just wish I had more and some stories were way too short!

So CLEVER but I want more!

I really like how each chapter is a stand alone but connects to make a whole. As a middle school teacher I can use it to hook readers, or a a daily read aloud.

Fantastic!!

This is an excellent book! It reminded me of my days of a life lived in neighborhoods that unfolded block by block. This is for the kids that live life on their feet, and for the ones that want to know them better.
