So this is about a mall shooting, and it's a bloody book. In the end, they finally go home after what seems like a couple of weeks. I would say the main character is Miranda because it says her a lot in this book.😝 😍

This book is about a girl named Shannon, she has a hard time keeping friends due to rumors. She learned to ignore rude bullies and just be herself. This book is really good. It showed that other people have hard times with school and friends. And it showed that we're not alone.

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!
