About this ebook
Todd Strasser’s acclaimed account of school violence that Kirkus Reviews calls “vivid, distressing, and all too real.”
For as long as they can remember, Brendan and Gary have been mercilessly teased and harassed by the jocks who rule Middletown High. But not anymore. Stealing a small arsenal of guns from a neighbor, they take their classmates hostage at a school dance. In the panic of this desperate situation, it soon becomes clear that only one thing matters to Bendan and Gary: revenge.

This book was amazing. Not only was it informing, but it really opened my eyes to the problems among youth today. As a highschool student, I will try to share the messages created in this book.

I remember reading this in seventh grade like 4 years ago and loving it for its sheer truth. It hits close to home and gives you a glimpse into how cruel kids can be to each other and how powerless our schools' anti-bullying programs currently are.
