With a school bus falling from the sky. But no one saw it happen. They were all too busy: talking about boogers, stealing pocket change, skateboarding, wiping out, braving up, executing complicated handshakes, planning an escape, making jokes, lotioning up, finding comfort, but mostly too busy walking home.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Reynolds conjures ten tales (one per block) about what happens after the dismissal bell rings, and brilliantly weaves them into one wickedly funny, piercingly poignant look at the detours we face on the walk home, and in life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-70596 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book.png 1080w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-165x165.png 165w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-945x945.png 945w, https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/files\/2020\/04\/book-750x750.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graphic texts move beyond the words on the page to express ideas and information through a variety of visual elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15985,"featured_media":0,"parent":72767,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70796","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-elementary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15985"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70796\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
