(2) YA After a deadly shooting, Central High calls in a grief and crisis counselor, who offers no counseling but institutes some stringent new rules. Narrator Tom's stoner friend has conspiracy-theory obsessions, which soon become the novel's reality. The story's over-the-top quality keeps it from any aspiration to seriousness, but the melodrama will surely be enjoyed by fans of kids-against-the-world books.
