In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writersâincluding Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revisâcome together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting.
It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.
But this isnât a story about the shooting itself. This isnât about recounting that one unforgettable day.
This is about Kirby and how one boyâwho had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble beforeâbecame a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing on his classmates.
Each chapter is told from a different victimâs viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who heâd become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book of perspectivesâwith one character and one event drawing them all togetherâfrom the minds of some of YAâs most recognizable names.
