Siege / Sarah Mussi


It's a pretty scary thought that someone would start shooting people at your school. That's what happens to Leah Jackson and her classmates. But what's worse is that it seems as if the authorities are the ones who've handed out the guns. This is a book that you can't put down and it turns you into a nail biter! It's an exhausting read as you are with Leah every step of the way as she's crawling through the ceiling space, trying to keep safe, and when she is building up courage to leave her hidey hole. It's a shocking believable story that on the one hand has you hoping you would have it together as much as Leah does, and on the other makes you think about what motivates people to behave the way they do.

Who would enjoy this? If you are a reader who enjoys 'what if' scenarios then you will appreciate this tense and dramatic story.
