I had a chance to get my copy of Tea Dragon Society signed on Saturday, so naturally I had to re-read it. 🐉☕ I enjoyed it with some tea of my own.

Jason Reynolds’ new novel Long Way Down is focused on a moment of decision. It happens in an elevator — teenaged Will is on his way to take revenge for the murder of his brother, but his plan is interrupted by a few visitors on the way down to the ground floor.

“Will is growing up in a community where there are certain rules,” Reynolds says. “There’s a code of conduct, and what those rules are is number one, no crying, number two, no snitching, and number three, always seek revenge.”
