*"Diverse perspectives are presented in a manner that feels organic
to thenarrative, further emphasizing the tension created when
privilege and racismcannot be ignored. Timely and powerful, this
novel promises to have an impactlong after the pages stop turning."
-School Library Journal, starred review
*"The scenario that Reynolds and Kiely depict has become a
recurrent feature of news reports, and a book that lets readers
think it through outside of the roiling emotions of a real-life
event is both welcome and necessary." -Publishers Weekly, starred
review
*"With Reynolds writing Rashad's first-person narrative and Kiely
Quinn's, this hard-edged, ripped-from-the-headlines book is more
than a problem novel; it's a carefully plotted, psychologically
acute, character-driven work of fiction that dramatizes an
all-too-frequent occurrence. Police brutality and race relations in
America are issues that demand debate and discussion, which his
superb book powerfully enables."-Booklist, starred review
"...a deeply moving experience." -Kirkus Reviews
"ALL AMERICAN BOYS is a terrific story that will compel readers to
consider who they are, what they stand for, and what they should
stand for. It's that good." -Richie's Picks
