(4) YA Desperate to be accepted at his new private high school, Paul falls under the influence of a popular but troubled classmate, who convinces him to plant a bomb at school. This disturbing novel looks at many areas of culpability, including what responsibility adults and other students bear for Paul's actions. While the characters are drawn with fairly broad strokes, this is a compelling look at a complex issue.
