Reviews
"The YA debut we're most excited for this year." --Entertainment Weekly "If you enjoyed Black Panther and Ready Player One , you're going to love this new YA novel." --Bustle "A book that knocks you off your feet while dropping the kind of knowledge that'll keep you down for the count. Prepare to BE slain." --Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out "More than a novel, SLAY is a conversation about safe spaces, why they're necessary for minorities, and why we should champion their right to exist without being branded exclusionary or racist." -- Booklist , starred review "[A] not-to-be-missed YA debut." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Morris does a fantastic job of showing diversity within the black community. . . . Gamers and black activists alike will be ready to SLAY all day." -- Kirkus Reviews "Readers are invited to learn about the black experience in game culture through a compelling new lens. Exploring different versions of the African American experience, this is an important title for public and school libraries." -- School Library Journal "Offers a richly global perspective on the Black diaspora." -- BCCB "Wildly entertaining and impressively insightful. Morris is absolutely an author to watch." --Sara Grochowski, McLean and Eakin Booksellers (Petoskey, MI) "I was captivated from the very first page and found myself quickly falling in love with Kiera but even more for what Kiera stood for. I cannot wait for more from Brittany Morris!" --Teresa Steele, Old Firehouse Books (Fort Collins, CO)

Synopsis
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2019! "Gripping and timely." -- People "The YA debut we're most excited for this year." -- Entertainment Weekly "A book that knocks you off your feet while dropping the kind of knowledge that'll keep you down for the count. Prepare to BE slain." --Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out Ready Player One meets The Hate U Give in this dynamite debut novel that follows a fierce teen game developer as she battles a real-life troll intent on ruining the Black Panther -inspired video game she created and the safe community it represents for Black gamers. By day, seventeen-year-old Kiera Johnson is an honors student, a math tutor, and one of the only Black kids at Jefferson Academy. But at home, she joins hundreds of thousands of Black gamers who duel worldwide as Nubian personas in the secret multiplayer online role-playing card game, SLAY. No one knows Kiera is the game developer, not her friends, her family, not even her boyfriend, Malcolm, who believes video games are partially responsible for the "downfall of the Black man." But when a teen in Kansas City is murdered over a dispute in the SLAY world, news of the game reaches mainstream media, and SLAY is labeled a racist, exclusionist, violent hub for thugs and criminals. Even worse, an anonymous troll infiltrates the game, threatening to sue Kiera for "anti-white discrimination." Driven to save the only world in which she can be herself, Kiera must preserve her secret identity and harness what it means to be unapologetically Black in a world intimidated by Blackness. But can she protect her game without losing herself in the process?, A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2019 "Gripping and timely." -- People "The YA debut we're most excited for this year." -- Entertainment Weekly "A book that knocks you off your feet while dropping the kind of knowledge that'll keep you down for the count.

- 3***u (107)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseQuick delivery in four days. Large quantity of books were professionally packaged in a sturdy, padded box. All books arrived in Very Good condition as advertised. Good communication from merchant. Solid transaction overall. A+. Buy with confidence.
- s***e (742)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent transaction, shipped promptly. All discs are in great shape. One interesting sidenote is that eBay incorrectly labeled the package as Delivered, when in fact it was still being processed. (At some point it went from Out for Delivery to being in another city about an hour away.) Prematurely designating a shipment as Delivered caused a lot of confusion. The person I spoke to at eBay didn't seem to get it. EBay needs to upgrade their code to more accurately reflect shipment status.
