Publisher's Summary
One of AudioFile’s Best Audiobooks of 2019!
From National Book Award finalist and New York Times best-selling author Jason Reynolds comes a genre-defying new novel that serves as an homage to sharing the stories we all hold within ourselves.
What the critics say
"Ten African-American narrators read these ten interconnected stories, and their performances are uniformly excellent, bringing the cast of characters to vivid life.... Author Reynolds's vibrant language, delivered by the narrator ensemble with style, makes every situation and detail - whether funny, outlandish, sad, or tender - feel genuine, relatable, and full of heart. Reynolds reads the final chapter himself, a poetic conclusion that connects all of the threads in this perfect middle-grade novel." (AudioFile Magazine)

We all have a point of view.
I really love the simple, but deep premise of this book.
Jason Reynolds, you are an amazing storyteller.

Best part was Jason
I appreciated the story arc for sure and can see why this has received such acclaim. The highlight for me was when Jason started narrating.

Fantastic!!
I really like how each chapter is a stand alone but connects to make a whole. As a middle school teacher I can use it to hook readers, or a a daily read aloud.

Someone for Everyone
Those who have spent any amount of time around middle school students will enjoy and appreciate the unique qualities of each character and their overlapping threads throughout. The artful way each student is painted makes you feel connected to many if not all of these characters. Beautifully and authentically written. Highly recommend!

So CLEVER but I want more!
I truly enjoyed this, my 5 Jason Reynolds book! It was full of humor, shenanigans,& MG heart! Short stories are my jam and I love the way Reynolds linked the stories without being obvious to meet publishing standards. I loved the variety in voices on page & in narration. A Good time just wish I had more and some stories were way too short!

Details of life are LIFE
What a presence rolls out of these details. Cry, step forward and laugh. Live. As you read. Great book.

Subpar
Story falls flat and is empty. Not typical Reynolds' quality. Each block fails to become special.

not my favorite.
I did not finish because I could not get into the story. I typically like all kinds of stories but this one did not grab my attention.
