This book was so good. It’s a perfect mix of being about Miles Morales as a hero and him as a person. This book was about Miles after he got his powers, and I love super hero stories that aren’t origin stories. In addition to being a fun and interesting super hero story, this book also has something to say. I think the commentary on prisons and racial prejudice is written in a way that is clear and understandable for kids (I think this is something that Jason Reynolds always does well though). I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and everyone, but especially those who are in the mood for a good super hero story.

I really wanted to like this book, but it ultimately fell a bit flat. A review mentioned that it felt like you couldn’t actually get that Jefferson actually loves his son, or why Ganke and Miles are best friends, and I have to agree. If it weren’t for the backstory I have for Miles going into this book, I would have 100% thought the same thing. There were some cool things about the book but I felt like it could have went a lot deeper than it actually did.

This book takes place when Miles is in high school, in a slightly different version of the universe than that shown in the movie, but if you liked it you'll probably love this. The characters are very loveable and the book is more than just a fun superhero story - more than the movie did, it dives in to how Miles' race influences his experience, both as Spiderman, and as a student.

Racism from a history teacher misrepresenting facts, unfairly targeting Black students for punishment, and saying bigoted things occurs throughout the novel.psistillreadyou's review
