Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds comes the “action-packed…banter-filled” (School Library Journal, starred review) sequel to his groundbreaking young adult novel Miles Morales: Spider-Man about the adventures of the unassuming, everyday kid who just so happens to be Spider-Man.

Miles Morales is just your average teenager. He has unexpectedly become totally obsessed with poetry and can never seem to do much more than babble around his crush. Nothing too weird. Oh! Except, just yesterday, he used his Spidey superpowers to save the world (no biggie) from an evil mastermind called The Warden. And the grand prize Miles gets for that is…

Suspension.

But what begins as a long boring day of in-school suspension is interrupted by a little bzzz in his mind. His Spidey Sense is telling him there’s something not quite right here, and soon he finds himself in a fierce battle with an insidious…termite?! His unexpected foe is hiding a secret, one that could lead to the destruction of the world’s history—especially Black and Brown history—and only Miles can stop him. Yeah, just a typical day in the life of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on April 23, 2023

Unexpected but fantastic! Miles Morales Suspended is a followup to a previous Miles Morales novel by Reynolds (also great) but this time is a novel partly in verse. It's an interesting structure that took a minute to get into, but I think it really works. The entire story takes place on a day when M......more

Goodreads review by Jesse (JesseTheReader) on October 05, 2023

A *little* disappointed in this one. Normally I feel like Jason Reynolds can do no wrong, but this one felt rushed and a little underdeveloped at times. :/......more

Goodreads review by Reilly on June 10, 2023

I think Jason Reynolds could have written this about anyone other than Miles Morales and it would have made it a million times more impactful. The message, the poetry, and the art of the book was GREAT and MOVING, but muddied by using Miles Morales to get the overarching point across.......more

Goodreads review by Clara on June 10, 2023

Read Reilly’s review, spot on. I hate this as a spidey man story; the Spider-Man aspect brought this down because it felt like an afterthought. It kinda came off as a cash grab since Miles Morales/Spider-Man(s) are “trending.” Banned books & finding your own voice is impactful all by itself.......more

Goodreads review by Shea on November 18, 2023

This book was great! Not really a Spider-Man book as much as it was a education system/school-prison pipeline commentary but that’s exactly what I wanted out of a Jason Reynolds Spider-Man novel. His novels make reform so accessible to young adults and middle schoolers, something that is so importan......more

Quotes

"Guy Lockard takes the mic as narrator while Nile Bullock voices high school student Miles Morales, who’s “Boriqua and Black and Brooklyn as hell.” He’s also Spider-Man. But this adventure finds Miles stuck in in-school suspension after leading a protest against his racist history teacher’s revisionist lessons. Even in suspension, though, Miles’s Spidey-sense tells him something’s really, really wrong beneath the respectable veneer of Brooklyn Visions Academy. Lockard’s baritone carries listeners through prose so rhythmic that it flows right into Miles’s poems. These are read by Bullock in an urgent tenor that captures both Miles’s earnest idealism and deep frustration. There isn’t much web-slinging, but listeners may not notice as they’re caught up in this timely tale of one battlefield in America’s war of ideas."
