From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Way Down comes a powerful print adaptation of the acclaimed, award-winning audiobook Soundtrack—a stirring story of music, friendship, and finding your voice in 2000s New York City. ★ “[A] stunning tribute to New York City’s creative scene . . . The text echoes with the sounds of N.Y.C., as Stuy perceives them, from beginning to end.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review Stuy Grey plays the drums, just like his mom, a founding member of the all-black punk band the Bed-Stuy Magic Dusters. He teaches himself by watching videos of tap dancers. Now he’s left home, estranged from his mom and her abusive boyfriend. He’s camping out with his uncle on the Lower East Side. His landlord, Dunks, has chops: He shreds on only five strings. Add Alexis on bass guitar and Keith on horn: These teens are a band, busking in New York City subway stations to scrape enough money to record an album. As their popularity grows, so do the pressures, from complicated family dynamics to the glare of unexpected public attention. And when the police start looking for their bassist, Stuy faces his toughest decision yet. Adapted from the acclaimed Listening Library original audiobook and written with Jason Reynolds’s signature rhythm, heart, and honesty, Soundtrack: A Novel is a raw, resonant story about friendship, creativity, and what it truly means to find, and fight for, your voice.

In this companion to Jason Reynolds’s award-winning and New York Times bestselling Track series, meet Coach as a boy striving to come into his own as a track star while facing upheaval at home. Before Coach was the man who gave caring yet firm-handed guidance to Ghost, Lu, Patina, and Sunny on the Defenders track team, he was little Otie Brody, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (a.k.a. Carl Lewis) and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Like Mr. 9.99—and his own dad—Otie is a sprinter. Sprint free or die is practically his motto. Then his dad, who is always away on business trips, comes home with a pair of Jordans. JORDANS. Fine as fine can be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the moon…maybe even leap like Mr. 9.99 when he won the Olympic gold medal in the long jump. But one morning he wakes up to find his brand-new secret weapon kicks are missing—right off his feet! And Otie just might have a fuzzy memory of his dad easing them off as Otie was sleeping, but that can’t be right, can it? Unless all the reasons for his dad’s “gone’s” are very different from what he’s been told… Because now, not only are the Jordans missing, but so is his father.

A Coretta Scott King Author Award Winner A New York Times Bestseller Seven starred reviews! “Jason Reynolds has done it again!...Fresh from start to finish…This is what it could be, should be, if only we were all as lucky as Aria.

No judging! Those hook thingies are complicated! So he’d figured he’d better practice, what with the big day only a month away. Twenty-four minutes ago: Neon leaves his shift at work at his dad’s bingo hall, making sure to bring some chicken tenders for Aria. They’re not candlelight and they definitely aren’t caviar, but they are her favorite. And right this second? Neon is locked in Aria’s bathroom, completely freaking out because twenty-four seconds from now he and Aria are about to…about to… Well, they won’t do anything if he can’t get out of his own head (all the advice, insecurities, and what ifs) and out of this bathroom!

A Caldecott Honor Book A Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jason Reynolds’s debut picture book is a snappy, joyous ode to Word King, literary genius, and glass-ceiling smasher Langston Hughes and the luminaries he inspired. Back in the day, there was a heckuva party, a jam, for a word-making man. The King of Letters. Langston Hughes. His ABCs became drums, bumping jumping thumping like a heart the size of the whole country. They sent some people yelling and others, his word-children, to write their own glory. Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, and more came be-bopping to recite poems at their hero’s feet at that heckuva party at the Schomberg Library, dancing boom da boom, stepping and stomping, all in praise and love for Langston, world-mending word man. Oh, yeah, there was hoopla in Harlem, for its Renaissance man. A party for Langston.

BESTSELLER #1 DEL NEW YORK TIMES. Esta edición para niños del revolucionario bestseller #1 de los astros Ibram X. Kendi y Jason Reynolds es una introducción esencial a la historia del racismo y el antirracismo en Estados Unidos.

A stunning visual autobiography of two crazy-talented besties, bestselling and award-winning author Jason Reynolds and painter Jason Griffin, who could never be who they are singularly if they weren’t who they were together. Once upon a time in America, there were two Jasons. Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin. One a poet. One an artist. One Black. One white. Two voices. One journey in mind: to move to New York, the city of dreams, to make their own dreams come true. Willing to have a life not un-hard, so long as it wasn’t unhappy. Willing to let the city swallow them whole, so long as it gives them their chance. They had each other. “What if painting was a sin, and the poetry became taboo. And no one ever clapped for me again. My question is, would you?” They clapped. Oh, they clapped. And aren’t we glad?

Uuden ajan Spider-Man on syntynyt! Marvelin tunnetuin sankari, Spider-Man viettää 60. juhlavuottaan 2022! Miles Morales on tavallinen Brooklynissä asuva, puertoricolaistaustainen 16-vuotias teini – ja hän sattuu olemaan myös Spider-Man. Kirjan keskiössä on Miles, hänen jokapäiväinen elämänsä ja identiteettinsä: ystävä- ja perhesuhteet, ongelmat koulussa, öisin valvottavat painajaiset ja hänen supersankarikykynsä – onko niitä edes tarkoitettu hänen kaltaiselleen henkilölle? Ennen pitkää hänen pitää alkaa luottamaan superkykyynsä ja käyttää voimiaan pysäyttääkseen koko yhteisöä uhkaavan vaaran. Jason Reynolds on lahjakas ja palkittu amerikkalainen nuortenkirjailija ja runoilija. Hän aloitti tuotantonsa kirjoittamalla runoja räpin innoittamana ja luki ensimmäistä kertaa kirjan kannesta kanteen 17-vuotiaana. Hänen ensimmäinen suomennettu kirjansa Minuutin mittainen ikuisuus ilmestyi tänä vuonna Otavalta.

Le livre que vous avez entre les mains n’est pas un manuel d’histoire. C’est un livre sur l’instant présent. Un livre pour comprendre pourquoi nous en sommes arrivés là. Un livre sur la race. Le concept de race a toujours été utilisé pour obtenir le pouvoir et le conserver, mais aussi pour séparer les êtres humains et imposer le silence aux personnes racisées. Ce remix de Stamped From the Beginning d’Ibram X. Kendi met en avant l’histoire des discours racistes en Amérique et porte l’espoir d’un avenir antiraciste. C’est un véritable voyage dans le temps qui permet de comprendre pourquoi le poison du racisme persiste encore aujourd’hui. Mais si ces propos haineux ont toujours été faciles à fabriquer et à propager, ils peuvent aussi être discrédités. Grâce à un récit dynamique, Jason Reynolds lève le voile sur le caractère insidieux de ces idées et donne des clés pour les identifier et les éliminer de notre quotidien.

Miles Morales é um adolescente como todos os outros. Janta todos os domingos com os pais, joga games das antigas com o melhor amigo, Ganke, e tem uma queda por Alicia, a linda e inteligente poeta. Miles ostenta uma bolsa de estudos na prestigiada Brooklyn Visions Academy. Ah, sim, e ele também é o Homem-Aranha. Porém, nos últimos tempos, o sentido aranha de Miles não tem mostrado boa forma. Quando um mal-entendido o leva a ser suspenso do colégio, Miles começa a questionar suas habilidades. Afinal, seu pai e seu tio já foram pivetes com fichas criminais nas ruas do Brooklyn. Talvez moleques como Miles não estejam destinados a serem super-heróis. Talvez Miles deva ouvir o conselho do pai e cuidar de si próprio. Enquanto Miles tenta colocar sua vida escolar de volta nos trilhos, não consegue se livrar dos pesadelos vívidos que insistem em persegui-lo. Tampouco consegue evitar o zunido incessante do sentido aranha nas aulas de História, entre as falas suspeitas de seu professor sobre a escravidão e o sistema prisional moderno. Porém, quando sua bolsa de estudos é ameaçada, Miles descobre uma trama apavorante que ameaça a sua vida e a de todos à sua volta. É hora de Miles vestir o uniforme.

Skateboarding. Wiping out. Braving up. Executing complicated handshakes. Planning an escape. Making jokes. Lotioning up. Finding comfort. But mostly, too busy walking home. Jason Reynolds conjures ten tales (one per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings, and brilliantly weaves them into one wickedly funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we face on the walk home, and in life.

“A lyrical masterpiece.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Originally performed at the Kennedy Center for the unveiling of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and later as a tribute to Walter Dean Myers, this stirring and inspirational poem is New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist Jason Reynolds’s rallying cry to the young dreamers of the world. For Every One is exactly that: for every one. For every one person. For every one who has a dream. But especially for every kid. The kids who dream of being better than they are. Kids who dream of doing more than they almost dare to imagine. Kids who are like Jason Reynolds, a self-professed dreamer. Jason does not claim to know how to make dreams come true; he has, in fact, been fighting on the front line of his own battle to make his own dreams a reality. He expected to make it when he was sixteen. Then eighteen. Then twenty-five. Now, some of those expectations have been realized. But others, the most important ones, lay ahead, and a lot of them involve kids, how to inspire them: All the kids who are scared to dream, or don’t know how to dream, or don’t dare to dream because they’ve NEVER seen a dream come true. Jason wants kids to know that dreams take time. They involve countless struggles. But no matter how many times a dreamer gets beat down, the drive and the passion and the hope never fully extinguishes—because simply having the dream is the start you need, or you won’t get anywhere anyway, and that is when you have to take a leap of faith. A pitch-perfect graduation, baby, or inspirational gift for anyone who needs to me reminded of their own abilities—to dream.

Sunny tries to shine despite his troubled past in this third novel in the critically acclaimed Track series from National Book Award finalist Jason Reynolds. Ghost. Patina. Sunny. Lu. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds, with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team—a team that could take them to the state championships. They all have a lot to lose, but they all have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves. Sunny is the main character in this novel, the third of four books in Jason Reynold’s electrifying middle grade series. Sunny is just that—sunny. Always ready with a goofy smile and something nice to say, Sunny is the chillest dude on the Defenders team. But his life hasn’t always been sun beamy-bright. You see, Sunny is a murderer. Or at least he thinks of himself that way. His mother died giving birth to him, and based on how Sunny’s dad treats him—ignoring him, making Sunny call him Darryl, never “Dad”—it’s no wonder Sunny thinks he’s to blame. It seems the only thing Sunny can do right in his dad’s eyes is win first place ribbons running the mile, just like his mom did. But Sunny doesn’t like running, never has. So he stops. Right in the middle of a race. With his relationship with his dad now worse than ever, the last thing Sunny wants to do is leave the other newbies—his only friends—behind. But you can’t be on a track team and not run. So Coach asks Sunny what he wants to do. Sunny’s answer? Dance. Yes, dance. But you also can’t be on a track team and dance. Then, in a stroke of genius only Jason Reynolds can conceive, Sunny discovers a track event that encompasses the hard beats of hip-hop, the precision of ballet, and the showmanship of dance as a whole: the discus throw. But as he practices for this new event, can he let go of everything that’s been eating him up inside?
