This book was a another one written in free-verse poetry with several characters narrating the story. At first, it seems like most of the students are fairly normal, each with problems that come up often in life. But one particular student is thinking of violently taking out his frustrations on the people he hates (mostly other students who don't go with what he thinks is correct). Some of the others start to get desperate and almost join him, but one student has the courage to go to the cops and put a stop to what would have happened.
I thought that this was very well written. The tension grows very gradually. In fact, you hardly notice it until you get to the end, and you breathe a sigh of relief. I also like the use of several perspectives to show what is happening. It helps the reader see what is in a character's head and what is actually going on.
