Jason Reynolds is the award-winning writer of Ghost, All American Boys, Long Way Down, and Look Both Ways. Portico refers to the mammoth apartment building where he lives with his parents, Gran Gran and a cat called A New Name Every Day (no, he isn’t given a new name, that is literally what the cat is called) as the Castle and it is a place filled with fascinating characters, most of whom will need the assistance of a superhero just when they least expect it. The book tells the story of Portico Reeves, a mild-mannered school student whose secret identity is Stuntboy.
