Summary:
Miles Morales seems like a normal teenager with normal friends and normal problems. He's from the poor part of town, attending Brooklyn Visions Academy on scholarship. His best friend, Ganke, makes him laugh and reminds him to do his homework. His dad is a sometimes serious, sometimes sarcastic man who loves his family. The only people who know the secret identity of Miles are Ganke and his father. The only people still alive that is. Or at least that's what Miles believes. While trying to balance school work and catch the attention of a certain girl, Miles is also out saving the world a little at a time. Is it too much for this sixteen year old kid to handle? Find out when you pick up Miles Morales: Spiderman, available in your library and on Overdrive!
Personal Reflections
Jason Reynolds is such a talented author - his way with words, the ability to write characters who are both unbelievable but completely relatable. He's just a great author. Any Spiderman fan will appreciate his characterization of Miles Morales as Spiderman. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good story. Though the majority of the story focuses on getting to know our main character and his various dilemmas regarding his identity, Reynolds treats his readers to a great bit of action toward the end. Stick with the story, and you will not be disappointed in the least.
