Review:
"Readers will quickly become absorbed in this electrifying portrayal of fear and deception." -Publishers Weekly "The unexpected consequences of celebratory gunfire are the topic of this well-written novel . . . [It] will appeal to a broad audience, and it is a great vehicle for discussions about guns, violence, and responsibility." -VOYA "When 17-year-old Michael discovers that he has accidentally killed the father of a schoolmate, he wrestles with his own guilt until he can no longer keep his terrible secret. A compassionate story focusing on both the killer and the family left to grieve the loss of a father and husband." -School Library Journal "Deliberately paced but deeply felt drama." -Kirkus Reviews
