Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

Nineteen Minutes. Sterling, New Hampshire.
What would cause a 17-year-old to wake up one day, load his backpack with four guns, and kill nine students and one teacher in the span of nineteen minutes?!

On Peter Houghton's first day of kindergarten, he watched helplessly as an older boy ripped his lunch box out of his hands and threw it out the window. From that day on, his life was a series of humiliations, from having his PANTS PULLED DOWN in the cafeteria, to being CALLED A 'FREAK' at every turn.

But can endless bullying justify murder?

Ask the ruthless jock who loses his ability to speak after being shot in the head. Or the mother who both blames and pities herself for producing what most would call a monster. Or Josie Cormier, a former friend whose acceptance into the popular crowd hangs on a string that makes it impossible for her to reconcile her beliefs with her actions.

"Everyone would remember Peter for nineteen minutes of his life, but what about the other nine million?"

"If you are privy to any of Jodi Picoult's books-let this be the one! While "My Sister's Keeper" is the most well known & talked about of all her novels-NINETTEN MINUTES is truly unforgettable-notably because of it's vast similarities in dynamics to The Columbine High School massacre."
