While Noah didn’t get the girl, he and Sam at least kept their friendship. It seemed like it was going to end happily. If you can see the page, the form of the verse makes an impact as well as the words. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss the start of a new poem because the titles always set you up for the topic of the poem. His poems don’t sound like poetry at all. It’s much different reading Alexander’s books versus listening to them. In a stand-off, Walt gets shot and dies.įinal thoughts: Very enjoyable. Walt finds out it’s his brother, Moe, back from the war. There’s tension in the neighborhood because someone’s been surreptitiously planting American flags everywhere. Too bad she’d rather be friends than a couple. He makes his move when she breaks up with her boyfriend (the star of the baseball team). Sam’s been a great friend for years and Noah wants her to move to the next level. Walt is trying to convince Noah to profess his love for Sam. Noah’s done trying, but Walt is sure he can make it next year if he just practices enough. Once again, they didn’t make the baseball team. Long version: Walt and Noah are best friends. Summary: Short version: The life of two teenage black boys in the city Length: 448 pages of text, 4:12 hours of audio (There are two new free audiobooks offered each week.) I love Kwame Alexander and wanted to listen to his latest, especially since he was reading it himself. This was one of the first week’s offerings from the 2019 Sync Audiobooks for teens.
