All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kelly

Rating: 9/10

Ideal for 7th-10th graders

*Walter Dean Myers award*

This is a great book fueled by the racial tensions going around in the United States of America right now. If you liked Swagger by Carl Deuker you will like this book. It is a great read I am sure you will love. Mature language.

All American Boys book trailer

"ALL AMERICAN BOYS is a terrific story that will compel readers to consider who they are, what they stand for, and what they should stand for. It’s that good." -Richie's Picks

*"With Reynolds writing Rashad’s first-person narrative and Kiely Quinn’s, this hard-edged, ripped-from-the-headlines book is more than a problem novel; it’s a carefully plotted, psychologically acute, character-driven work of fiction that dramatizes an all-too-frequent occurrence. Police brutality and race relations in America are issues that demand debate and discussion, which his superb book powerfully enables.” - Booklist, starred review
