Shooter

<b><i>The Breakfast Club</i> meets <i>We Need to Talk About Kevin</i></b>. <br><br>A lockdown catches five grade 12 students by surprise and throws them together in the only unlocked room on that empty third floor wing: the boys' washroom. They sit in silence, judging each other by what they see, by the stories they've heard over the years. Stuck here with <i>them</i>--could anything be worse?<br>There's <b>Alice</b>: an introverted writer, trapped in the role of big sister to her older autistic brother, <b>Noah</b>.<br><b>Isabelle</b>: the popular, high-achieving, student council president, whose greatest performance is her everyday life. <br><b>Hogan</b>: an ex-football player with a troubled past and a hopeless future.<br><b>Xander</b>: that socially awkward guy hiding behind the camera, whose candid pictures of school life, especially those of Isabelle, have brought him more trouble than answers.<br>Told in five unique voices through prose, poetry, text messages, journals and homework assignments, this modern-day <i>Breakfast Club</i> takes a twist when Isabelle gets a text that changes everything: <i>NOT A DRILL!! Shooter in the school!</i><br>Suddenly, the bathroom doesn't seem so safe anymore. Especially when they learn that one of them knows more about the shooter than they realized...
