Description
Blending interviews, official reports, and journal entries, this novel follows three troubled teenagers as their private struggles, shifting loyalties, and mounting pressures collide in the tense atmosphere of a high school. As their voices come into focus, the book examines how identity, anger, and the need to feel seen can be distorted—until a catastrophic decision reshapes everyone’s lives. Written with Walter Dean Myers’s signature immediacy and empathy, the narrative invites readers to consider the warning signs that can be missed and the complex social forces that surround youth violence. Ultimately, it’s a searing exploration of grief, responsibility, and the human cost of despair.
