I love everything by Jason Reynolds is why I decided to pick up All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. I was not disappointed. This book discusses what happens when a young black man is wrongfully beaten and arrested and the affect that has on the community. I loved all of the characters, Rashad and Quinn, figuring out where they stand and what they want to do about it. Everything that Jason Reynolds writes and touches is a must read.
