Bridgette and Genn review Jason Reynolds’ sequel book “Miles Morales Suspended.” We discuss Reynolds’ experimentation with poetry and prose, Zeke Peña’s illustrations, and how termites become a potent commentary about book bans. Bridgette also shares about the time she met Reynolds and why he’s the perfect author for Spider-Man and for Miles Morales.
