Reviews
Booklist
“[B]reaks new ground as it tells the story of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who became activists after 17 fellow students were killed during a school shooting. Individual students, like David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez, are profiled, and their efforts for stricter gun laws are detailed, showing how effective teen activism can be.”—starred, Booklist
School Library Journal
“[A] useful addition to large middle grade nonfiction collections, or to libraries whose tween readers seek out books on current events.”—School Library Journal
