AND THEN THERE WERE SHOTS
Everybody
ran,
ducked,
hid, tucked
themselves tight.
Pressed our lips to the
pavement and prayed

the buzz of a bullet,
didn't meet us.

'A heartrending and convincing blank verse narrative.' Sunday Times, BOOKS OF THE YEAR
'Astonishing.' Kirkus Reviews
'A tour de force.' Publishers Weekly
'Will attract teenagers who don't consider themselves 'readers'.' The Inis Reading Guide
A moving rendition that stands on its own
Kirkus
From start to finish the book is a constant rollercoaster of emotions. The watercolour style of Danica Novgorodoff adds a confused and chaotic vibe to the pages, which echoes the poetic words of Jason Reynolds perfectly
Comics in Class
Reynolds' gift is in the ability to write how children think
Books for Keeps
Exceptional graphic novel adaptation of a ground-breaking novel-in-verse. The story is as gripping and moving as ever, its atmosphere perhaps even more poignant courtesy of Danica Novgorodoff's impactful watercolour illustrations.
LoveReading4Kids
Extremely accessible in graphic novel format. Striking ink-and-watercolour illustrations bring the setting to life, while the comic-book layout adds pace and urgency to the narrative.
