📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Jason Reynolds
The
Rules are simple: don’t cry, don’t snitch, always get revenge. When Will learns
that his brother was shot and killed, he decides to follow the rules. On the
elevator ride down from his apartment to the main floor though, Will encounters
somebody on each floor who was killed because of the same cycle of violence.
Each person provides Will with knowledge and makes him question if he will
follow the rules.
While
this book maybe 306 pages long, the entire story takes place in about a
minute. Jason Reynolds does a magnificent job of sharing this story about the
cycle of violence in beautiful verse. The only issue readers may have with this
book is the ending.
