In the wake of the tragic loss of his young friend, Jordan, National Book Award winner Jason Reynolds pens a searing and honest account of grief, remembrance, and the power of love.

For Jordan is an alphabetic journey through the memories of a vibrant young man—a son, a brother, a friend—whose life was cut short by senseless violence. Reynolds explores the complex emotions of loss, anger, and confusion, while also celebrating Jordan's life and legacy.

Through lyrical prose and raw emotion, Reynolds paints a vivid portrait of Jordan, a young man who was full of life, laughter, and potential. He was a talented artist, a gifted athlete, and a loyal friend. But Jordan was also a victim of the senseless violence that plagues our communities.

In the aftermath of Jordan's death, Reynolds is left grappling with the questions of why and how. He explores the role of race, poverty, and violence in Jordan's life and death. He also examines his own feelings of guilt and responsibility.

But For Jordan is more than just a story of loss. It is also a story of love, remembrance, and hope. Reynolds celebrates Jordan's life and legacy through the memories of his family and friends. He also finds solace and inspiration in Jordan's art and music.

For Jordan is a powerful and moving tribute to a young man who was taken too soon. It is a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced loss, grief, or the pain of senseless violence.

"For Jordan is a love letter, a eulogy, a lament, a celebration, a call to action. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it." —Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award winner

"Jason Reynolds has written a masterpiece. For Jordan is a heartbreaking, honest, and ultimately hopeful account of grief and loss. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever loved and lost." —Ibram X. Kendi, National Book Award winner
