Purchase From:Īmazon, Barnes & Noble, Book Depository Review When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes again, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift. Something will have to change―but who will listen to a group of teens? That was even before the new regulations―it seems sometimes that the students are treated more like criminals. Moss can’t even escape at school―he and his friends are subject to the lack of funds and crumbling infrastructure at West Oakland High, as well as constant intimidation by the resource officer stationed in their halls.
