A powerful story told in verse about a boy named Will, who has to decide if he will follow the rules that have been set for him or not. Recommended for ages 13+. I enjoyed this story because I love poetry, but also because I couldn't wait to see what would happen as the elevator stopped on each floor. It's a tough read, one filled with gun violence, gang rivalries, and poverty, but that shouldn't stop kids (or adults) from reading it. Even if your life doesn't look like Will's, this short read will give you a window to see what it would be like if it was.
