About this audiobook
The groundbreaking and widely praised novel about a school shooting, from the acclaimed author of Monster. Multiple narratives, a personal journal, and newspaper and police reports add perspective and pull readers into the story.
""Questions of guilt and innocence drive the plot and stay with the reader,"" said Hazel Rochman in a starred Booklist review. ""Highly readable.""
""A haunting story that uncovers the pain of several high school students,"" according to Teenreads.com. ""It explores the tragedies of school violence and how the result of bullying can go to the most dramatic extreme. Myers has a gift for expressing the voices of his characters. Shooter is not a light read, but it will leave you reeling.""
