HarperCollins Publishers Inc Game Changer
Book SynopsisA timely, speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity. —KirkusThe conceit behind Shusterman’s latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author’s usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well. —BooklistAll it takes is one hit on the football field, and suddenly Ash’s life doesn’t look quite the way he remembers it.Impossible though it seems, he’s been hit into another dimension—and keeps on bouncing through worlds that are almost-but-not-really his own.The changes start small, but they quickly spiral out of control as Ash slides into universes where he has everything he’s ever wanted, universes where society is stuck in the past…universes where he finds himself looking at life through entirely different eyes.And if he isn’t careful, the world he’s learning to see more clearly could blink out of existence…This high-concept novel from the National Book Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of the Arc of a Scythe series tackles the most urgent themes of our time, making this a must-buy for readers who are starting to ask big questions about their own role in the universe.

Perfectly pitched to justice-oriented sports fans.”—Booklist, starred review"Debut author Buford delivers a novel that bridges the mighty dreams of Last Chance U with the trenchant social critique of The Hate U Give.

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewTate weaves Barnes’ own voice into his smoothly told narrative, to great effect. Will inspire young readers to stay true to themselves. * Kirkus Reviews *Tate’s tale illuminates the structural and social obstacles Barnes faced—from intense peer pressure to the adult Barnes’s longed-for first trip to an art museum, where he was told “your people don’t express themselves this way”—and clearly highlights the idea that there need be no division of interests between arts and sports. * Publishers Weekly *The nicely composed mixed-media collage illustrations establish the twentieth-century settings while capturing the stages of Barnes’ life. An expressive, engaging picture-book biography. * Booklist *It is impossible to tell the story of a Black American artist born in the 1930s without discussing segregation and racism, and Tate weaves those threads seamlessly into his narrative, drawing particular attention to the moment when Barnes exhibits his work at the North Carolina Museum of Art, a place where he had once been told by a docent that “your people don’t express themselves this way.” * The Horn Book Magazine *
