Look Both Ways

by

Jason Reynolds

Remy is described as a boy at Latimer Middle School who could easily be popular—if he stopped trying so hard to be popular. He idolizes his older brother, Justin, and takes Justin’s advice on how to woo girls to heart, despite the fact that his friend Candace regularly tells him Justin has no idea how to impress a girl. He’s friends with Bryson, but his best friends are Candace, Gregory, and Joey. He supplies the body spray in “How a Boy Can Become a Grease Fire” that is supposed to make Gregory smell better before he asks Sandra for her number. He’s a supportive friend, if dramatic and cheesy.
