Jason Reynolds always kills it. He makes the settings and characters in everyday life feel so vivid and magical, while still honest and genuine. He invites us into spaces warm and confusing and hopeful. He’s an adult who remembers, so clearly, the power and the humor and the love in a child’s perspective. Where apartment buildings can be castles and building supers can be superheroes. This was such a joy to read.
