Violent Ends

Violent Ends

In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most recognizable YA writersâ€”including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revisâ€”come together to share the viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting.

It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.

But this isnâ€™t a story about the shooting itself. This isnâ€™t about recounting that one unforgettable day.

This is about one boyâ€”who had friends, enjoyed reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble beforeâ€”became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates.

Each chapter is told from a different victimâ€™s viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who heâ€™d become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectivesâ€”with one character and one event drawing them all togetherâ€”by some of YAâ€™s most recognizable names.
