Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks
by Jason Reynolds (Author)
Booktalk: A novel told in ten blocks, showing all the different directions kids’ walks home can take.
Snippet: In the cafeteria, instead of people leaving Ty alone, instead of them cracking their stupid jokes to each other, a bunch of them had decided to sit with him. Crowd around him at the lunch table. Tease him to his face. Including Slim.
By the time Bryson got there, they were calling Ty all kinds of names. Names that bite. Names that stick and mark. Names that catch fire and leave a burnt smell in the air.
