Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
An emotional story told through verse about a brother seeking to avenge his brother's death. Jason Reynolds chooses words that hit hard and bring the characters to life. Though this story takes place in a timeframe of about a minute, it is emotional and raw. I am very interested in reading the graphic novel version of this story, as well.
