Reviews"[Laura R.] King delivers, providing both a drama-filled anatomy of the school and a chance for its community to show its best by the way it confronts the worst Career Day imaginable." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Shocking." -- New York Post "A riveting story of suspense and tragedy out of the most seemingly mundane ingredients: kids and adults preparing for a day at school. The violence doesn't explode until we're well into the book, but the lead-up to the explosion has the feel of a brewing storm: we know something is going to happen, even if we don't know what it is. A fine thriller, as timely as it is gripping." -- Booklist (starred review) The award-winning novels of Laurie R. King are . . . "Sharp, inventive and rewarding." -- The Seattle Times "Audacious." --Los Angeles Times "Rousing . . . riveting . . . suspenseful." --Chicago Sun-Times "Impossible to put down." -- Romantic Times "Beguiling . . . tantalizing." -- The Boston Globe "Stunning." --The Christian Science Monitor "Delightful." -- Booklist
