* â€œBelongs on the shelf alongside contemporary heavy-hitters like Angie Thomasâ€™sÂ The Hate U Give, Brendan Kiely and Jason Reynoldsâ€™sÂ All-American Boys, and Nic Stoneâ€™sÂ Dear Martin."â€”School Library Journal, starred review
Â Â Â
Bunny and Nasir have been best friends forever, but when Bunny accepts an athletic scholarship across town, Nasir feels betrayed. While Bunny tries to fit in with his new, privileged peers, Nasir spends more time with his cousin, Wallace, who is being evicted. Nasir can't help but wonder why the neighborhood is falling over itself to help Bunny whenÂ WallaceÂ is in trouble.

When Wallace makes a bet against Bunny, Nasir is faced with an impossible decisionâ€”maybe a dangerous one. Â
Â
Told from alternating perspectives,Â After the Shot DropsÂ is a heart-poundingÂ story about the responsibilities of great talentÂ and the importance of compassion.
