I found this to be a very well-written book with likeable characters, with whom I was able to identify. The twist in the plot (when Akhil reveals his secret) is unexpected and awesome. The ending, while tragic, is very well done and all in all the book really made me think. I have a new appreciation for wolves, and for life in general. Honestly, I would recommend this book to anybody.

This book is about three high school students who find clues about someone planning a school shooting. I enjoyed reading this book and I think the plot was good, but I disliked the part where it told about Akhil being part wolf.(I know it sounds confusing, but you have to read the book to find out what I'm talking about) This part of the story seemed a little "out there". Yet, I still recommmend this book to anyone whose interested in reading about school shootings.

This book is the greatest. Beautiful! You make such a bond with all the charactrs. The book deals with all sorts of issues, raceism and school violence. The end of the book is shocking and I even cried at the end. Read this book, its wonderful, the begginning starts slow, but it gets going very fast and you wont want to put it down!

This book was required reading for my young teen in Jr High. I'm sorry - the reviews were ok and it came recommended by the Lib Jrnl and my sons' English teacher, so we tried it. But you know what? This book is so over the top, with trials/situations that 90% of all people on the planet would not even come close to having to deal with, it's bunk. Badly written, silly extreme multiculturalism at its worse, stereo types abound, and did I mention it's badly written? Let's not forget the foul language to make it adult enough to get the kids/readers attention, I tried to read it aloud to see what my family thought (usually a marker of a good book) by the time we were in the 4th chapter, we're making fun of the main and minor characters, teachers, situations, catastrophes - everything.The further we read into the book the worse it got. Please, all families have problems but this is just kissing up to the school/library buyers. This book goes down on my list of one of the worse books ever written and was pushed by school librarians/teachers! - who should know better. Kids should be required to read better books in school than this one. It's junk. Sorry

i loved this book. technically speaking, yes i am just a kid. i live for books like this one though. the suspense and story will make a pageturner out of anyone.

The pack is about three kids named Omar, Akhil, and Becky. They find out that two kids named Kyle and Rudy are going to do a new Columbine. They are planning a massacre. Becky's little brother, Sam was hit by a car that Kyle was driving and substained a spinal injury. Oh yeah! Akhil has a big secret to tell. If you want to find out how it ends, you have to read the book.

Akhil Vyas is a freshman in high school, and is scarred and looks weird. The school gossipers, Alana and Kathy, talk harshly about Akhil, like he looks weird, and has been into too many razor blades. The National Institute of Health has been studying him, although he can't say why.

The ending is pretty sad because Akhil gets killed in a bomb that detonated in their school.
