And Miles knew hustling was in his veins." Miles Morales is just your average teenager. Dinner every Sunday with his parents, chilling out playing old-school video games with his best friend, Ganke, crushing on brainy, beautiful poet Alicia. He's even got a scholarship spot at the prestigious Brooklyn Visions Academy. Oh yeah, and he's Spider Man. But lately, Miles's spidey-sense has been on the fritz. When a misunderstanding leads to his suspension from school, Miles begins to question his abilities. After all, his dad and uncle were Brooklyn jack-boys with criminal records. Maybe kids like Miles aren't meant to be superheroes. Maybe Miles should take his dad's advice and focus on saving himself. As Miles tries to get his school life back on track, he can't shake the vivid nightmares that continue to haunt him. Nor can he avoid the relentless buzz of his spidey-sense every day in history class, amidst his teacher's lectures on the historical "benefits" of slavery and the importance of the modern-day prison system. But after his scholarship is threatened, Miles uncovers a chilling plot, one that puts his friends, his neighborhood, and himself at risk. It's time for Miles to suit up. Review: One of the Best Miles Morales Stories! - Jason Reynolds’ “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” is the first solo Miles Morales story written by someone other than character creator Brian Michael Bendis and it easily surpasses expectations. Reynolds grounds his story in Miles’ relationship with his parents and friends, really focusing on their role in shaping him as well as the role of his home of Brooklyn (a location that Reynolds focuses on in his other books as well). The recurring themes of family, the long shadows of the past, and the precarious nature of opportunity shape the trajectory of the story. As much as Miles struggles to balance his personal life with his life as Spider-Man, he struggles far more to live up to the expectations of his parents and his community. Things take a turn as Miles begins clashing with a teacher who seems to have a grudge against him. This same teacher, Mr. Chamberlain, acts as a Southern apologist, arguing in favor of the Confederacy during the Civil War, suggesting that slavery was a net positive for the country, and citing the punishment clause of the Thirteenth Amendment to argue that slavery continues to benefit the United States. This, coupled with Miles’ strange dreams about a cabal of men who secretly negate the hopes of young people like Miles—ensuring that their victims will eventually end up in the prison industrial complex—tap into current events such as the recent clashes over memorials to the treasonous acts of the Civil War South and Ava DuVernay’s documentary, “13th.” These dreams offer clues to the climactic battle, which, though Reynolds assures his readers is real, still rings with the weight of allegory and metaphor. As exciting as the battle is, Reynolds’ focus on the world around Miles elevates this novel beyond a basic super hero story. In focusing on Miles’ relationships and his experience with his community, Reynolds tells a story with which any reader can relate. Miles’ sudden discovery of a cousin, the son of his Uncle Aaron (once the supervillain known as the Prowler), offers a mirror through which Miles can see the effects of a system designed to limit opportunities for people of color or those who lack wealth. This real-world commentary makes this one of the strongest Miles Morales stories, particularly in light of the controversy around 2016’s “Spider-Man” #2 trying to simultaneously engage with and avoid the issue of race. It also sets a high bar for Bryan Edward Hill, who will pen the first solo Miles Morales comics story in August 2018’s “Spider-Man Annual” #1. Though Marvel Press intends this young adult novel for grades 7 and up, it should be accessible to readers as young as 10 and as old as the oldest comic book fans. Review: Fantastic read - Things I loved about this book: The Sijos, Jason Reynolds' ability to add mundane details into his stories and normalize characters, the very present parents, the rich and detailed side characters. Things I'm struggling with: This story, is obviously, about Spiderman. Throughout the story there is a build up to the battle scene, with Miles' Spidey sense alerting him and the way too evil history teacher. It felt like all of this build up happened and then the battle scene was 10 pages long and then it was over. However, the more I think about this, the more I think that it's done this way on purpose. Being Spiderman is just one part of Miles. He is also a son, and a friend, and a student, and a teenage boy trying to navigate his crush. This story tells one small period of time in his life. Once he has defeated the villain, he still has real life demons to answer to and problems of racism and discrimination that cannot be as easily defeated as the larger-than-life villain. So while this was unsettling to me when I read it, it forced me ask myself a lot of questions and grapple with why the story was told this way and the answers make the grappling worth it. tl;dr Jason Reynolds is masterful in his story telling. This is exactly the story Donald Glover was talking about years ago. Spiderman is just a normal, smart black kid from Brooklyn. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #838,982 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #4 in Teen & Young Adult Superhero Fiction #121 in Teen & Young Adult Black & African American Fiction eBooks #166 in Teen & Young Adult Media Tie-In eBooks | ## Images ![Miles Morales: Spider-Man (A Marvel YA Novel) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DgPaY4-8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Miles Morales Stories! *by R***D on July 7, 2018* Jason Reynolds’ “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” is the first solo Miles Morales story written by someone other than character creator Brian Michael Bendis and it easily surpasses expectations.
