 About the Book
What is it like to be an outsider at home and at school? Leonard, Cameron, and Carla struggle to find their way, but when Leonard goes on a shooting rampage at school, his friend Cameron finally gets his own wake-up call.
Told through a series of interviews, reports, newspaper articles, and excerpts from Leonard's journal, Shooter unveils a bleak picture of what life can be like for a teen misfit. In his provocative, edgy style, Walter Dean Myers weaves a riveting tale of the world of three loners-their anguish, anger, and vulnerability.
