ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Long Way Down" by Jason Reynolds tells the story of Will, a fifteen-year-old boy, who is determined to avenge his brother Shawn's death by following the rules of the street: no crying, no snitching, and always get revenge. As Will descends in an elevator, the ghosts of his past, including family and friends who were victims of violence, join him. They share their stories, revealing the cyclical nature of violence in their community. Will's journey becomes a confrontation with the truth about his family and the devastating consequences of following the rules blindly. The story explores themes of grief, revenge, and the impact of violence on young lives, raising questions about whether the cycle can ever be broken.
