It is still on it's way in transit to me. BunnyBear sounds like an important book that should be in all libraries! I'll be looking for that one. <br />I adored The Best We Could Do and agree that it is for older readers. I think it would be a popular book for students in upper intermediate at the school I worked at because many of their parents and grandparents originally immigrated from Vietnam.

I listened to the audio version of Long Way Down and having Jason Reynolds narrate made it even more impacting. It's such an important read. You will LOVE Takedown!

I had some struggles keeping up with where the story was, today or yesterday, but through re-reading, figured it out in all its complexities.
