Miles Morales
Jason Reynolds
GENRE: Action/Adventure or Fantasy - Superheroes
BOOK SUMMARY Sixteen year old Miles Morales is from the Brooklyn projects; but under the surface, he's not your normal teenager. Yes--he is in and out of trouble in school, has trouble talking to girls, and even rebels against his parents; but he is also Spider-Man which means he fights crime on the streets, slings a mean web, and can go into "camo" mode to hide. His troubles are mounting as Miles struggles with being biracial, his family's past, and a mean school administrator who also has secrets. Miles must decide to continue his superhero ways or walk away from the crime fighting life into something else.
BOOK TALK Award winning author Jason Reynolds spins a new web in the Spider-Man saga with Miles Morales. Miles has the same Spidey senses and web slinging abilities that you are familiar with. However, this superhero is struggling with his racial identity, a crush on a classmate, and his role as a crime fighter, not to mention his recurring dreams about a white cat. It's when his troubled past collides with the trouble he's facing with school administration that Miles must make a decision. Will he walk away from the crime fighting life and be a normal teenager, or will he accept the fact that "with great power, comes great responsibility."
