AND THEN THERE WERE SHOTS

Everybody ran, ducked, hid, tucked themselves tight. Pressed our lips to the pavement and prayed the boom, followed by the buzz of a bullet, didn't meet us.

After Will's brother is shot in a gang crime, he knows the next steps. Don't cry. Don't snitch. Get revenge. So he gets in the lift with Shawn's gun, determined to follow The Rules.

Only when the lift door opens, Buck walks in, Will's friend who died years ago. And Dani, who was shot years before that. As more people from his past arrive, Will has to ask himself if he really knows what he's doing.

This haunting, lyrical, powerful verse novel will blow you away.

Jason Reynolds

Jason Reynolds is crazy about stories and writing. But until he discovered reading in the sixth grade, books were nothing more than disappointing birthday gifts from his Grandma.

Now he makes it his mission to write exciting books for kids (particularly boys) who mistakenly think that all books are boring.

He is the author of the critically acclaimed When I Was the Greatest and has won multiple awards for many other titles, ranging from middle grade to YA fiction.
