Long Way Down

Sixty seconds. Seven floors. One gun. A lifetime of choices. Jason Reynolds's award-winning novel is transformed into a stunning graphic novel that powerfully explores grief, revenge, and the courage to break the cycle of violence.

Written by Jason Reynolds and illustrated by Danica Novgorodoff, Long Way Down: The Graphic Novel is a visually striking adaptation of the bestselling, award-winning novel in verse. Fifteen-year-old Will has just lost his older brother, Shawn, to gun violence. In his neighborhood, there are three unbreakable rules: Don't cry. Don't snitch. Get revenge. Armed with a gun, Will steps into an elevator determined to follow those rules. But during the sixty-second ride down from the seventh floor, the elevator stops at each level as mysterious passengers—people connected to Shawn's past—step inside. With every encounter, Will is forced to confront painful truths, question what he believes, and consider whether revenge is the only path forward.

Paired with Danica Novgorodoff's haunting watercolor artwork, the story delivers an emotionally unforgettable reading experience that deepens the impact of Reynolds's powerful narrative. A compelling exploration of grief, family, justice, and the consequences of violence, this graphic novel encourages thoughtful discussion about difficult choices and empathy.
