3.5 A reviewer called this 25% Spiderman 75% Jason Reynolds, and that's highly accurate. Lot to love here, and an easy booktalk for teens (our holds list is already long after only 2 talks), but it's not my favorite JR. All the great hallmarks, though: Real characters, complex racial/socio-economic issues, great portrayals of friendship. I'd read more in the series to see where he takes it. As for the audio, though I liked Guy Lockard for his other books, he does a HORRIBLE job with a few voices here. First one by him I had some trouble listening to.
