Monday Morning Book Review (on Tuesday)--All American Boys

All American Boys by Jason Reynolds & Brendan Kiely--Everyone should read this book!  No matter your age, gender, ethnicity this story needs to be told, discussed and challenged.  Rashad is an ROTC student who stops by the local market for some snacks on his way to meet up with friends.  Suddenly, things go awry and Rashad is on the wrong end of a policeman's wrath.  Quinn and his friends are hoping to should tap someone for some alcohol at the local market when he witnesses Rashad's arrest.  The policeman has been a mentor to Quinn and how does he reconcile what he saw with the guy he knows?  Reynolds and Kiely write Rashad & Quinn's stories in alternating voices that speak directly to our world today.  The book raises more questions than answers but definitely makes you think.  READ IT!
