'Long Way Down' is a moving exploration of gun violence told in 1 minute of a boy's life
Jason Reynold's new novel Long Way Down is a study in restriction.
The book, which was longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award in Young People's Literature, outlines a single minute in the life of a boy named Will the day after his brother Shawn is murdered.
In a quest for vengeance, Will steps onto an elevator with a gun, on his way down to find the man that he thinks is responsible for his brother's death. However, as Will tries to make the long trip down, the elevator keeps stopping floor-by-floor, forcing Will to confront the ghosts of his past, and question whether this mission for revenge is really something he wants to do.
