Give a Boy a Gun

Have you ever wanted something to happen so bad, you risk your life and others to make sure it occurs? In the book "Give a Boy a Gun", two boys who are picked on for their appearance, their personality, and their decisions take drastic measures to prove a point. During their tenth grade year at a school dance, they take over with guns in hands and bullets blazing. Their names are Brendan and Gary.

The author of "Give a Boy a Gun" expressed every detail and put total commitment to this story by gathering information on friends, family, teachers, and students about the two troubled teenagers and what went down that night at the school dance. Each chapter grows more and more in suspense and questions when they will crack. Right down to the very end, the theme is quite out there in which bullying is prohibited and saying that you should always be kind to others, otherwise you will recieve the same treatment later in life whether it be while you're still alive or in the afterlife.

In resolution, "Give a Boy a Gun" is spiritually and emotionally uplifting in how we should deal with kids who are troubled and how to stop school shootings before they ever start. Anyone who reads this book, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and pass it on to spread the word.
