June Key Words
“And, Beach, Number, Wish, Down, Word”
Our top book suggestion this month is:
The Long Way Down, Jason Reynolds
An ode to Put the Damn Guns Down, this is New York Times bestseller Jason Reynolds’s fiercely stunning novel that takes place in sixty potent seconds—the time it takes a kid to decide whether or not he’s going to murder the guy who killed his brother. A gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s now heading. He gets onto the elevator and the book follows his thought process as he moves down the floors. Written in verse, this book is a quick read but packs a powerful punch.
