In today's world, school shootings are something we hear about all too often. In Jodi Picoult's novel Nineteen Minutes, she tackles this issue with a few twists. The novel is told from various perspectives including victims and their families, but also the shooter and his family. It focuses on what drives a student/child to commit this horrible act. It was one of the best books that I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone in education, as it gives an insight to issues that teachers may not always see such as bullying and the feelings that adolescents may experience on a daily basis. http://www.amazon.com
