Title: Writing isn't great, but the story needs to be told
Review: This is a moderately-well told story of a boy who brings a gun to school to make some kids he doesn't like back off. Although he never pulls it out, the consequences came around to him and his best friend. I bought this book for my 10 year old brothers to read about the real consequences of violence and in discussions after one of them read the book, I believe I got my point across. The plot is not complex or well-written enough to sustain the interest of an adult, but it is an excellent read for children who are just beginning to learn about violence (in whatever form it comes in).
