Miles Morales Suspended

A Spider-Man Novel

By: Jason Reynolds

Narrated by: Guy Lockard, Nile Bullock

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.

Critic reviews

"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."

I really enjoyed this story I can really relate to Miles on so many levels

I liked the performance as well great readers and I’ll be looking forward to the next story

Amazing!!!

Miles morales is one of my favorite hero’s I started reading his comics about 7 years ago but I really started loving him after his 2 movies into and across the spider verse! But the poetry and perspectives are just beautifully written this book is just pure genius, and amazing

Racism is the true villain which this Miles Morales doesn’t win over

I now see that anybody can write a story on Miles Morales.
This is not the Miles Morales from Marvel. His dad is a known police officer about to be captain. They know Miles is royalty. So, no this is from the author’s own universe. Spider-Man is too busy for petty teachers and corny students with a lame storyline.
I did not get the boricua characteristics of a Latin background from this Miles. The movie is way so much better than this mediocre story. I had to skip to the end.
Spider-Man would never fall from a chair. He would catch himself mid air and fix the chair in a blink of an eye.
Superheroes move in a quicker time lapse than regular people.
It was a very boring read.
I applaud the author for introducing the race issue so prevalent in our times towards non-whites.
I like that the face of Miles has a large nose. (All the other books on Miles have a white young man that has black skin and a thin nose.) This Miles is black and the narrator does a wonderful job.
Spider-Man is the most amazing in Across The Spider-verse, this character by Jason Reynolds is not part of this.
Jason Reynolds is a magnificent writer who exposes racism. Spider-Man has yet to fight the Racism villain but not in this book.

Unique Storytelling!

Loved the way this story was formatted. The narrators were super poised. This was a super cute story.

Great story and narration!

Our seven-year old and ten-year old thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book with us! We read the whole book in four days!
