great submitted by manz on December 31, 2019, 3:33pm A really great read showing the different POVs of the kids walking home from school. I laughed, I cried.

Another short story masterpiece submitted by llamahope on August 22, 2020, 9:41pm I have been reading a few of Jason Reynolds books as of late, and they all make me think a lot and usually cry by the end. Beautiful in his variety of points of view, while all being centered in one place.
