I have been on a Jodi kick lately, lol.


This is a book that every mother, teenager, and teacher should read, IMO. It talks about bullying, peer pressure, fitting in, teasing and all of its affects. I hope that our school ibrary will carry it...I know that some school libraries have banned it from their shelves.

The book is about how one student named Peter walked into his high school and in 19 minutes, shoots 29 of his classmates, killing 10. It then flashes back to his childhood and also switches POV to several other characters. It was especially hard for me to read about how Peter was teased ever since his first day of Kindy. :D

Geeat book, but not my favorite from her. The story would intoduce potential storylines, and then drop them. I guess too many things going on at once but then weren't resolved.

But definately a two thumbs up for me.
