This Is Where it Ends, by Marieke Nijkamp
Claire, Tomas, Autumn, and Sylv are just about to start the last semester of their senior year at Opportunity High. But on the first day of school, a fellow student brings a gun to school, locks the auditorium doors, and opens fire. This Is Where It Ends takes place over the next fifty-four minutes, as each character navigates the unfolding tragedy. Claire watches from outside the school, while Tomas attempts to free the people trapped in the auditorium. Meanwhile, Autumn (the gunman’s sister) and her girlfriend Sylv are stuck in the middle of it all. This Is Where it Ends is heartbreaking, suspenseful, and absolutely impossible to put down.
