Bring a Gun to School Day tells the story of an individual finding strength and defeating his oppressors. The day after a major school shooting fills the news, seventeen-year-old Erik Shylding is harassed by people who claim he is just like the shooter. To express himself and mess with the system, he puts up posters in school that declare April 19 "Bring a Gun to School Day." Erik has a feeling that he won't get away with it.Author Darian Worden sent me an advance copy some time ago and I've been holding off on telling you about it until the official release, which just happened yesterday. It's a unique story with an interesting premise, and it's an easy, often entertaining read.
