Look Both Ways
by Jason Reynolds
***Winner of the 2021 Carnegie Medal***
A mixed collection of short stories, some of them very lovely, by The US National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. The stories are bound by a common thread: they all take place on the way home from school, in that space where children are unsupervised by teachers or parents. A myriad thoughts and words form along the city blocks that separate school and home, as relationships are built and events unfold on the children’s separate but interconnected journeys.
Ages 8-10
