About the Book
Throughout Peter Houghton's life, he has been bullied, everything from having his lunch stolen to being flagged in the middle of the cafeteria, from getting stuffed into a locker to having a private e-mail sent to the whole school. But can twelve years of being the victim give you the right to open fire on a whole school? That's what Peter Houghton did. He came into school with four guns, killing 10 and 
injuring many, many more.Throughout this provocative novel, a serious question come up, who was the victim? Was it the bullies who were shot that day, or the one bullied his whole life? The parents who lost their children or the Houghtons, who realized they lost their child a long time ago?
