"Everyone gets mad at hustlers, especially if you're on the victim side of the hustle. And Miles knew hustling was in his veins." Miles Morales is just your average teenager. Dinner every Sunday with his parents, chilling out playing old-school video games with his best friend, Ganke, crushing on brainy, beautiful poet Alicia. He's even got a scholarship spot at the prestigious Brooklyn Visions Academy. Oh yeah, and he's Spider Man. But lately, Miles's spidey-sense has been on the fritz. When a misunderstanding leads to his suspension from school, Miles begins to question his abilities. After all, his dad and uncle were Brooklyn jack-boys with criminal records. Maybe kids like Miles aren't meant to be superheroes. Maybe Miles should take his dad's advice and focus on saving himself. As Miles tries to get his school life back on track, he can't shake the vivid nightmares that continue to haunt him. Nor can he avoid the relentless buzz of his spidey-sense every day in history class, amidst his teacher's lectures on the historical "benefits" of slavery and the importance of the modern-day prison system. But after his scholarship is threatened, Miles uncovers a chilling plot, one that puts his friends, his neighborhood, and himself at risk. It's time for Miles to suit up.

"Okay I've read two of Jason Reynolds' books and let me take a minute to applaud. What I like about him is that he adds this..quiet power to his books. In Long Way Down it was like he was telling me I had the power to make my own decision without outright telling me, know what I mean? That I was in control of my own self and destiny. And I got the same vibe from this book, I also love the representation that he had. Miles is half black & half Puerto Rican and his bsf is Asian!"
"I feel like this was a good book, but it could have been better. It was a bit of a slow burn with a rushed ending and some events/characters that I would have liked to delve deeper into but unfortunately the book doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I think the book is good but I feel like it has potential for more backstories/depth. "
