Add a CommentBook tells the heartbreaking story of a school shooting and the aftermath through the eyes
of a seven year old boy Zach Taylor....an emotional read
Wow! What a fantastic book. Be sure to have Kleenex nearby - you’re going to need it.
A compelling and touching story of how a family deals with death. Zach brings his character and that of his family to life through his dialogue. I personally didn't see the need for Dad to have had an affair. It didn't fit in with the overall plot. I would definitely recommend it; however, I don't know if its audience would be especially male-oriented.
I would have rated it higher, but for the happy ending. I didn't believe it.
A school shooting told through the eyes of a loving, forgiving child. The author writes with sensitivity and understanding. The ripple effect through families, communities and generations is inconceivable.
May school shootings be a tragic part of history, never to be heard of again.
Excellent book. Tells a story that has occurred too many times in our country - the results of a school shooting. Told by the surviving brother in a family about how they deal with this horrible situation. Loved the understanding and sympathy that was shown by this young person for the parents of the shooter, who were known by everyone in the school. So sad for everyone. This little boy had a wisdom beyond his years. We should always remember those who were left no matter what their age. Just a beautiful story.
All too timely. A school shooting and its aftermath through the eyes of a 6 year old survivor.
