An ode to Put the Damn Guns Down, this is New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds\u2019s electrifying novel that takes place in sixty potent seconds\u2014the time it takes a kid to decide whether or not he\u2019s going to murder the guy who killed his brother.<\/p>\n

A cannon. A strap.
A piece. A biscuit.
A burner. A heater.
A chopper. A gat.
A hammer
A tool
for RULE<\/p>\n

Or, you can call it a gun. That\u2019s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That\u2019s where Will\u2019s now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother\u2019s gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he\u2019s after. Or does he?<\/p>\n

As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that\u2019s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn\u2019s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn\u2019t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck\u2019s in the elevator?<\/p>\n

Just as Will\u2019s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck\u2019s cigarette. Will doesn\u2019t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES.<\/p>\n

And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END\u2026if Will gets off that elevator.<\/p>\n

Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.
