shinypurplepants's review against another edition
What I did like: Rhodes writing style reminds me of Reynolds' "Track" series. It's fast paced and puts you in the head (and emotions!) of our protagonist really well.
I would recommend this book specifically for use in a book club setting with parents/child or teachers/students that want to discuss this very "ripped form the headlines" type of story.

Prepare to have your tearducts emptied. This is a moving but still hopeful story told from the perspective of a 12 year old boy shot in the back by cops while he was playing by himself in the party with a toy gun.
