Featuring a new trim size and a new line look, 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.
