Enlightening and so painful. A beautifully written book that taught me so much I needed to know.

These kids sure make me feel pathetic. But seriously, it’s inspiring that such a devastating tragedy can invoke change and a movement like these students created.

I always had it set in my head that I'd read Columbine but I guess a bigger tragedy has happened now and that's Parkland. Thank you, for the insight.

Very different from his Columbine book, as Cullen puts focus on the kids and not the killer in this one. I remember feeling so proud of these kids. They deserve all of the recognition.

This was wonderfully put together. 
Its starts with the Tragedy that happened to these kids on February 14th, but it becomes so much more. 
It touches on a few groups and projects that started as a result of the tragedy but a big focus was on March For Our Lives, since it was created and lead by the students of MSD. It also goes into how they were able to network with other communities and amplify voices that get looked over. It ended with the general election that happened that year and how the kids tried to make a difference, how they felt and their thoughts with some of the progress they were able to make. 
I'm so in awe of those kids and all they were able to accomplish after everything they went through. It proves that hope can come from the darkest places.
