Bang by Barry Lyga

4.0

Bang is a heartbreaking story of a boy who found his father's gun and accidentally shot his baby sister. He was just 4 years old. Now at 14, his family is torn apart and he is just looking for a way out. The guilt and the grief are too much to bear. Just as it seems it is about "time", he meets a new friend, Aneesa. Together they start a YouTube cooking channel featuring pizza. Just when it seems that he will be saved, things take a turn for the worse. Some good discussions over gun control and safety can be had with this book.
