I bought it for my 9 year old son, who has really enjoyed it! Jason Reynolds has a great gift of reaching out to the youth.

I love Jason Reynolds’ voice. It draws me in and his stories are told in such unique ways. There are always metaphors to explore!

This one will prompt discussion with readers

Jason Reynolds is a masterful storyteller and Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks doesn’t disappoint. Ten short stories, featuring characters in middle school, are cleverly woven together in both humorous and poignant ways. But all of them are sure to engage kids. Each chapter averages around 15 pages (perfect for reading aloud) and tackles a topic not far removed from experiences kids encounter in middle grades. And these topics will definitely prompt discussion starting with the first chapter on boogers and others focusing on bullying, parental illness, and homophobia.

Wonderful read!

Jason Reynolds has a way of weaving stories together with the reader finding connections from the heart with the characters. The characters each have their own challenges and although they do not see each other, you do notice connections in changes in setting. Look Both Ways is unique in that the stories take place at the end of the school day as the character’s walk home, but each block has a different set of characters and story.

I was granted an advance read copy and rate Jason Reynolds as one of my favorite YA and MG authors. Look Both Ways is a middle grade option, which reminds me more of the Track series.

Excellent book of interconnected short stories.

Jason Reynolds doesn't disappoint. Ten short stories told by ten different characters. The chapters are short, but it's funny how well you feel you know the character at the end of each one. Love this book. I think it would be a great class book for grades 5 and 6. I was planning on using it in my 8th grade class and it's a bit too easy for them.

Great for struggling readers

I teach high school, and I have some struggling readers. This book works well for them for multiple reasons. One reason is because it is short and has an easy vocabulary. Another reason is because each chapter is a different story. They all fit together, but it works well for students who have a problem focusing and are struggling readers.

The inner life of black kids, brilliantly written

Every one of these connected short stories will amaze you. Jason Reynolds can write about this stuff better than anyone. I read his books twice: once for the compelling story, and a second time, for the fun of watching his tale-telling skills.

My middle school son loves the book

My son has read many Jason R's books. He said Look Both Ways is great that the narration is very nature. He can picture his friends saying and doing the things in the book (his words "doesn't sound like the writer pretended to be young and used hip words, it's not cringey). This is a book he willingly picked up and read instead of me pushing him to read.

A Spectacular and Amazing Read

I read this book for school and it really surprised me. When my teacher told me we were going to read this book I didn't think it would be anything special. After the first chapter I was already excited to read the book even more. The clever small similarities in each chapter really hooked me. The last chapter wa my favorite as all the stories intertwined to help tell the last main characters story. Jasob Reynolds dod an amazibg job and I can't wait to read it all again. Spectacular job Mr.Reynolds, spectacular .

This is an excellent collection of short stories for a middle school classroom. As a teacher, I plan to use a chapter as a stand-alone story. Jason Reynold's writing is so beautiful. He is the master of metaphors and figurative language that makes his writing so rich.
