Description
This is a book about school violence on the surface and about love on a deeper level. It is written for an audience of mature adolescents and adults, particularly those who are involved in some way with Education. This is a painful and controversial view of teaching in modern America that combines poetry, Journaling, and reporting to reveal a plot that quickly builds to an explosive end.

Summary
A compelling and controversial glance at a single school year in which something goes drastically wrong, this book is a fast-moving narrative written in an experimental style that combines poetry, journaling, and reporting to reveal a plot that builds to an explosive end. An exploration of the consequences of one teacher's tragic mistake, this book asks the reader to consider the lessons the primary narrator didn't learn.
