4/5 Stars
B&N:
Everything led up to this moment—the point when the teasing, the cruelty, the pressure all became too much. And someone finally snapped.
Now six students, from six different cliques, are trapped in the student store while a shooter terrorizes their school. The shooter's identity is teased out through the students' flashbacks until the reader breathlessly reaches the final page. It's only there that he discovers the shocking answer to the question: Who is shooting out in the quad?
This gripping thriller by educator C. G. Watson is inspired by observations made in her own high school. Quad examines in heartrending detail how even the most casual cruelties can tear people apart.
My Review:
This is a book about a school shooting. It's pretty neat how the author takes you back and forth to the day of the shooting and then earlier in the week with events that lead up to it. You also get to hear from a bunch of different characters. I was trying to guess who did it the entire time. There are 3 people that seem to be obvious...it's interesting to see if it really is those 3 or someone totally unexpected.
