Miles Morales Spider-Man – Free Audiobook Online

Miles Morales is the best book in the Spider-Man series by author Jason Reynolds.
Everyone goes crazy with hustlers, especially if you’re a victim of hustle. Miles knows that hustle is in his veins.”

Miles Morales is just your ordinary teenager. Dinner every Sunday with his parents, relaxing playing old fashioned video games with his best friend, Ganke, falls in love with the beautiful, intelligent poet Alicia. He also received a scholarship to the prestigious Brooklyn Visions Academy. Oh yeah, and he’s Spider-Man.

When a misunderstanding leads to his suspension, Miles begins to question his abilities. After all, his dad and uncle are goofy Brooklyn boys with criminal records. Kids like Miles are not superheroes. Maybe Miles should take his father’s advice and focus on saving himself.

As Miles tries to get his school life back on track, he can’t shake the vivid nightmares that continue to haunt him. Nor can he avoid the incessant humming of his Spidey senses every day in history class. Teacher lectures on the historical benefits of slavery and the importance of the modern prison system. When his scholarship is threatened, Miles uncovers a macabre plot, one that puts his friends, neighbors, and himself in danger.

Jason Reynolds’ “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” is the first solo Miles Morales story written by someone other than character creator Brian Michael Bendis and it easily surpasses expectations. Reynolds grounds his story in Miles’ relationship with his parents and friends, really focusing on their role in shaping him as well as the role of his home of Brooklyn (a location that Reynolds focuses on in his other books as well). The recurring themes of family, the long shadows of the past, and the precarious nature of opportunity shape the trajectory of the story.

As much as Miles struggles to balance his personal life with his life as Spider-Man, he struggles far more to live up to the expectations of his parents and his community. Things take a turn as Miles begins clashing with a teacher who seems to have a grudge against him.

This same teacher, Mr. Chamberlain, acts as a Southern apologist, arguing in favor of the Confederacy during the Civil War, suggesting that slavery was a net positive for the country, and citing the punishment clause of the Thirteenth Amendment to argue that slavery continues to benefit the United States. This, coupled with Miles’ strange dreams about a cabal of men who secretly negate the hopes of young people like Miles—ensuring that their victims will eventually end up in the prison industrial complex—tap into current events such as the recent clashes over memorials to the treasonous acts of the Civil War South and Ava DuVernay’s documentary, “13th.” These dreams offer clues to the climactic battle, which, though Reynolds assures his readers is real, still rings with the weight of allegory and metaphor. As exciting as the battle is, Reynolds’ focus on the world around Miles elevates this novel beyond a basic super hero story.
