      A timely, crucial, and empowering exploration of racism--and antiracism--in America This is NOT a history book. This is a book about the here and now. A book to help us better understand why we are where we are. A book about race. The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited. Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative written by beloved award-winner Jason Reynolds, this book shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas--and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.

Once upon a time in America, there were two Jasons. Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin. One a poet. One an artist. One Black. One white. Two voices. One journey in mind: to move to New York, the city of dreams, to make their own dreams come true. Willing to have a life not un-hard, so long as it wasn’t unhappy. Willing to let the city swallow them whole, so long as it gives them their chance. They had each other. “What if painting was a sin, and the poetry became taboo. And no one ever clapped for me again. My question is, would you?” They clapped. Oh, they clapped. And aren’t we glad?

      Miles Morales is still 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.

      Dzieci, które samodzielnie wracają ze szkoły do domu, mogą nazywać siebie szczęściarzami. Oto mają wreszcie trochę wolności. Żaden dorosły nie mówi im, co mają robić i o czym opowiadać. Przez tych kilka chwil można się pośmiać, pogadać, stroić żarty albo stawiać czoła prawdziwym wyzwaniom i udowadniać swoją odwagę. Droga ze szkoły do domu może zająć kilka nieistotnych minut albo stać się prawdziwą eskapadą bocznymi ścieżkami - zupełnie tak jak w dorosłym życiu. Ta książka podobno miała się rozpocząć jak wszystkie najlepsze opowieści świata: od spadającego z nieba szkolnego autobusu. Tyle że nikt nie widział tego niesamowitego zdarzenia. Wszyscy byli zbyt zajęci rozmowami, psotami, jazdą na desce, planowaniem skomplikowanej ucieczki. Albo po prostu wędrówką ze szkoły do domu. Zamiast więc jeszcze jednej najlepszej opowieści świata znalazło się tu dziesięć historii. Każda przypada na jedną przecznicę pokonywaną codziennie po lekcjach, a wszystkie są w osobliwy sposób ze sobą powiązane. Łączy je też początek: dźwięk dzwonka obwieszczającego koniec zajęć w szkole.

Doch auf einer der Trauerfeiern trifft er Love, genau dann, als sich die schlechten Nachrichten in seinem Leben immer weiter häufen. Sie ist ein außergewöhnliches Mädchen mit seltsamem Namen, so liebenswert, so stark und so geheimnisvoll zugleich. Mit Schicksalsschlägen geht Love ganz anders um als Matt, der den Tod seiner Mutter einfach nicht verkraften kann. »Vergiss die Sache mit dem Glücklichsein ... Und vor allem, vergiss Love!«, sagt er sich schon bald. Doch das ist gar nicht so einfach und vielleicht kann auch nur Love ihn aus seiner Einsamkeit zurück ins Leben holen.
