How to talk to young adults about school shootings...Marisa Reichardt has written a new novel.

 Growing up nowadays can be difficult, especially given the reality of gun violence in our schools.  I haven't read a novel since Wally Lamb's The Hour I First Believed that deals with this important topic so poignantly.  Marisa Reichardt's Y.A. novel from Macmillan Underwater is a realistic answer to an uncomfortable question.  What happens to the survivors of a school shooting tragedy?  You can reach Marisa on Twitter @youngadultish or on her website: www.youngadultish.com.
