This is Where it Ends

by Marieke Nijkamp

 Each day in the headlines you read about another mass killing or school school in the headlines. This is Where it Ends is the story of a boy who has had too much. The book is written in alternate points of view and lends some insight on what it might feel like to be caught in one of these school tragedy's first hand. The current topics in our society, the emotional trauma you feel for the story, and the well-written short chapters from multiple characters leads me to give this book a 5-star rating. It's a YA favorite every year!
