Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller A masterfully woven tale about the experiences of 10 different groups of kids on their way home from the same school. A great reminder for kids (and adults) that although we may share common ground, we never know exactly what other people are going through when we go our separate ways. With laugh-out-loud moments throughout, this heartfelt story is sure to resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds. A National Book Award Finalist!

This story was going to begin like all the best stories. With a school bus falling from the sky. But no one saw it happen. They were all too busy— Talking about boogers. Stealing pocket change. Skateboarding. Wiping out. Braving up. Executing complicated handshakes. Planning an escape. Making jokes. Lotioning up. Finding comfort. But mostly, too busy walking home. Jason Reynolds conjures ten tales (one per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings, and brilliantly weaves them into one wickedly funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we face on the walk home, and in life.
