Bang! Gunshots echo through the gym. Two heavily armed students hold their classmates hostage at a high school dance. Their motive: revenge for the bullying and taunting they_ve been forced to endure in school for years. A stunning work of fiction taken straight from today_s headlines, GIVE A BOY A GUN, is a stirring wake-up call to stop violence and teasing, and to explore the role of guns in the lives of teenagers. "[This] book stands apart, and has already inspired widespread discussion among librarians and teachers." - Voice of Youth Advocates "Important, insightful, and chilling." - Kirkus Reviews "In this powerful documentary novel, Strasser presents a passionate indictment of America_s gun culture and the equally pernicious, pervasive caste system that has created a society of disaffected outsiders in America_s secondary schools." - Booklist "An absolute must-read for all who work with middle-schoolers." - VOYA_s Top Shelf Fiction recommendation |
