Jason Reynolds’s Newbery Honor, Printz Honor, and Coretta Scott King Honor–winning, #1 New York Times bestselling novel Long Way Down is now a gripping, galvanizing graphic novel, with haunting artwork by Danica Novgorodoff.

No. 3: Revenge

No matter what.

Why I’m Waiting: I LOVED this book, so finding out that it was being made into a graphic novel made it all the more better. And just flipping through the e-ARC I have for a tour, I got a glimpse of the art and it’s SO. GOOD. I can’t wait to re-immerse myself into this story!
