A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULE Or, you can call it a gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother’s gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he’s after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn’t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just as Will’s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck’s cigarette. Will doesn’t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES. And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END…if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.

Book excerpt: Wyatt West is a fictional Character in realistic situations. Most of the stories are from memories of my family and friends. Ranch and farm life is a totally different life from that of a kid that lives in a city. So with the Wyatt West series, people can learn what ranch life is like. Many people cannot believe that there is anything to do in the country. They think life would be boring without the city lights, malls, game rooms, parks and many other activities to try to keep youth busy in a city. In the country kids with free time make their own fun. There are horses to ride, and miles of land to explore. Fun can be found with imagination and curiosity. Safety is usually not a big concern because the kids learn from an early age the dangers of certain critters and equipment that can be around a ranch or farm. Country kids learn to be respectful of adults and more self dependent from an early age. It really is not much effort for a young person on a ranch to be responsible for the care and management of a horse. Most kids in the country are expected to help with their part of chores, and work around a ranch or farm. It takes a family to manage a ranch or farm in today's economy.
