i really really loved this graphic novel; the ending made me cry a bit. the art felt a bit messy to me, but that might have been the point. i would recommend this because it's a quick read, but has hit after hit.

I liked the story, and overall the book had a great message. The low score stems from the art. There were often times when I couldn't tell what I was looking at for a bit because the art was unclear, and there were many times that I got lost as to who was speaking, again, because of the art and layout. I also wish the book were in color. Many of my students turn up their noses to graphic novels that are black and white.

This was well-researched poetic prose (no surprise with Tony Medina as an author) that I will definitely be handing off to students who are writing and thinking about gun violence, policing, and the Black Lives Matter movement... and to those who aren't, yet!

I thought this was a great MG graphic novel that covers a tough subject. There was one part that was kind of confusing to me but when I kept reading it all made sense. Overall I liked it!
