Thank you to Hachette, Libro FM, and the author for the gifted audiobook of The Door of No Return!  All opinions in this review are my own.

At this point I will read anything Kwame Alexander writes, so when I saw his newest release was available through the educator ALC on Libro FM, I had to grab it!  Once again, Alexander's beautiful verse clearly creates the world his characters inhabit.  

Fair warning that this novel is heartbreaking, but I enjoyed the tension that was created because the reader can figure out what is happening before the main character can.

I have previously only read Alexander's other novels, but I highly recommend the audiobook.  Hearing the free verse read aloud is a completely different experience than reading it yourself.
