Listened to this one and As Brave As You back to back. Highly recommend the audio of both. The narrator (Guy Lockard) REALLY brings the characters to life. And what characters they are- even the secondary ones! I loved seeing Ghost…

Jason Reynolds is wonderful, but there's a reason that this series is getting so much love. Ghost is such a relateable, likable lead for the first installment in this series! JCLS has this in teen, but this is very much a middle grade…
