An important story is being told in this book. The devastation that is left in the wake of a school shooting is explored through Simon and his family. Their experiences are unfortunately paralleled by so many, yet the lasting effects of the trauma of mass shootings are often overlooked and forgotten after the media attention wanes. At its core this is a book about friendship, bravery, family and the importance of microwaves!
