First-chapter Friday : Look Both Ways


Each Friday I share the link to a read-aloud preview of a book from SRCSA library. The “First-chapter Friday” selection for March 10, 2023 is Look Both Ways, by Jason Reynolds.

From National Book Award finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes a novel told in 10 blocks, showing all the different directions kids’ walks home can take. Reynolds was the winner, in 2023, of the Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement in writing for young adults, presented by the American Library Association. Look Both Ways was a finalist, in 2021, for the Kids’ Book Choice Awards, in the “Favorite Author” category. Look Both Ways was also a Carnegie Medal winner, a National Book Award finalist, and a Coretta Scott King (Author) Honor Book.
