This was such a different way to tell a Spider-Man story, but you can just tell that it's a Jason Reynolds book. A mix of poetry and prose and illustrations. This story picks up where the previous Miles Morales book left off, focusing on Miles' day in In-School Suspension as things start to get kind of weird. As is expected when you're Spider-Man, naturally.

There are tones of the current political climate in relation to book banning in here, focusing on giving kids access to all kinds of stories. Miles tries to take a stand, but it ends up putting him in trouble, and a lot of the poetry is him reflecting on that. Overall, this is a masterpiece of a Spider-Man novel, and I don't expect anything less from Jason Reynolds.
