Reviews
With nods to the boys' Blackness and deep family ties woven into the narrative, this is an emotionally resonant and action-packed sequel that manages to be an even greater adventure than its predecessor. -- Booklist (starred review) This heartwarming adventure centers on the caring relationship between two Black boys while driving home a lesson about what justice might truly be. A fantastic second addition to an already-acclaimed series. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Thrilling and heartfelt, this is an absolute first purchase. -- School Library Journal (starred review) Lively prose, witty wordplay, and likable protagonists make this a fully engaging story. -- Horn Book Magazine Fills a gaping void in children's literature.... Every child, regardless of background, deserves adventure void of trauma... deserves to exist in magical spaces... should have the freedom to be one of The Legendary Alstons. And I, for one, am grateful to Giles, and this brilliant story, for that reminder. -- Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Stuntboy, in the Meantime, on The Last Last-Day-of-Summer
