SUMMARY:

Jason Reynolds' Long Way Down highlights Will Holloman, a young black boy struggling to make a decision after his brother Shawn is shot dead in the street. Will plans to seek revenge, but before he can leave the elevator of his building, he is greeted by a series of ghosts who confuse and complicate his perspective on Shawn’s death and the idea of revenge killing. Will he listen to these ghosts or will he get his revenge?

This 7th - 9th grade canonized work allows students to delve into the powerful exploration of the human capacity for revenge, self worth, and the strength of family and brotherhood.
