(3) YA Having lived with the knowledge that, as a four-year-old, he accidentally shot and killed his baby sister, Sebastian plans to commit suicide--soon. Aneesa, a new friend unaware of his past, makes him question this plan, and her experiences with bigotry (she is Muslim) expand his worldview. Lyga takes on grief, guilt, faith, prejudice, and gun violence in this moving page-turner.
