JASON REYNOLDS is the author of the critically acclaimed When I Was the Greatest, for which he was the recipient of the Coretta Scott King / John Steptoe Award for New Talent; the Coretta Scott King Honor books The Boy in the Black Suit and All American Boys (cowritten with Brendan Kiely); As Brave As You, his middle grade debut; and National Book Award finalist Ghost, the first in a four-book series about kids on an elite track team. Jason recently moved to Washington, DC, but before that spent many years in Miles Morales's very own Brooklyn, New York.
* "[Miles Morales] completely transcends its genre. The result is

page-turner with a heart and a soul."--Kirkus Reviews (starred
review)
"A must-read for any fan of Spider-Man."--Brian Michael Bendis,

"A thrilling joyride through the streets of Brooklyn. Jason
Reynolds's fresh voice and unflinching truth-telling bring a whole
new vitality to the Spider-Man story. Absolutely
brilliant."--Daniel José Older, New York Times best-selling author

"An expertly spun tale of identity that takes Miles--just like
Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man--from questioning who he is
to finding a fair measure of purpose and resolve."--The Horn
Book

everyday life and the challenges he sees in his neighborhood gives
the tale unexpected currency and depth."--The Bulletin of the
Center for Children's Books
"Jason Reynolds has written a thought-provoking, funny and
essential Spider-Man. Never has the character felt more human or
real."--Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times best-selling author of

"Reynolds has crafted a rich, developed portrait of complex teen
life while addressing issues of racism in the modern world with his
characteristic warmth and humorous touches. Give this to teens
looking to make the leap from comics to novels, or any other
readers interested in superhero action set in an urban
landscape."--School Library Journal

his to do Miles Morales proud. Equal parts hero and heart, this is
the Spidey 2017 wants and needs."--Margaret Stohl, #1 New York
