In LOOK BOTH WAYS author Jason Reynolds was inspired by his own experiences while walking home from school each day. The characters in his latest book tell the story of a neighborhood as each of them head home after school.
Ten stories are told about ten blocks and the kids who live in the neighborhood around their middle school. Their stories reflect adventure, tragedy, fear, and every experience in between. There are stories about boogers, jokes, hand shakes, and Rottweilers. There are stories about illness and money. The stories are all connected just as the kids are all connected as friends, fellow students, bullies, and more.
Reynolds captures the reality of life as the kids' experiences reflect the experiences of all who have walked home from school and dealt with whatever life hands them. This unique tale will touch the hearts of readers both young and old.
