15-year-old Gray Wilton is on trial for murder. This book explores the reasons behind his horrific actions. The story opens as Gray begins high school, hoping to get a fresh start away from the bullies at his old school. However, Gray soon finds out that, if anything, the bullies in high school are worse. The violence escalates, and teachers and administrators do nothing to stop the bullying. Fed up, Gray makes a choice that will change his life, and the lives of the people around him, forever. He takes his father’s semiautomatic weapon to school.
Suspensful prose, an emotional ending and a salient topic make this a great choice for older teens. This book will definitely spark discussion about bullying, school violence and the impact of the choices we make.
