By Jason Reynolds
A novel that takes place in sixty potent seconds — the time it takes a boy to decide whether or not he is going to murder the person who killed his brother.
Fifteen-year-old Will has a gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. His brother Shawn has just been murdered, and Will knows the rules: no crying, no snitching, revenge. He gets into the lift on the seventh floor, certain of who he is after. But at the sixth floor Buck gets on — and Buck is dead. At the fifth, a girl who knew Will when they were eight, before a stray bullet found her. Floor by floor, someone connected to his brother steps in and hands Will a piece of a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows: a story that may never reach an end, if Will gets off that lift.
Told in short, fierce narrative verse.
