| |  | About the BookBacklistOther FormatsProduct Images | From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes the “action-packed…banter-filled” (School Library Journal, starred review) sequel to his groundbreaking young adult novel Miles Morales: Spider-Man about the adventures of the unassuming, everyday kid who just so happens to be Spider-Man.
|
| | Miles Morales is just your average teenager. He has unexpectedly become totally obsessed with poetry and can never seem to do much more than babble around his crush. Nothing too weird. Oh! Except, just yesterday, he used his Spidey superpowers to save the world (no biggie) from an evil mastermind called The Warden. And the grand prize Miles gets for that is…
Suspension.
But what begins as a long boring day of in-school suspension is interrupted by a little bzzz in his mind. His Spidey Sense is telling him there’s something not quite right here, and soon he finds himself in a fierce battle with an insidious…termite?! His unexpected foe is hiding a secret, one that could lead to the destruction of the world’s history—especially Black and Brown history—and only Miles can stop him. Yeah, just a typical day in the life of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

| | "Guy Lockard takes the mic as narrator while Nile Bullock voices high school student Miles Morales, who’s “Boriqua and Black and Brooklyn as hell.” He’s also Spider-Man. But this adventure finds Miles stuck in in-school suspension after leading a protest against his racist history teacher’s revisionist lessons. Even in suspension, though, Miles’s Spidey-sense tells him something’s really, really wrong beneath the respectable veneer of Brooklyn Visions Academy. Lockard’s baritone carries listeners through prose so rhythmic that it flows right into Miles’s poems. These are read by Bullock in an urgent tenor that captures both Miles’s earnest idealism and deep frustration. There isn’t much web-slinging, but listeners may not notice as they’re caught up in this timely tale of one battlefield in America’s war of ideas."
