(3) YA Oleander, Kansas, is devastated first by a day of murder-suicides, then by a tornado; things only get worse as the townspeople become inexplicably violent. Five teens touched by "the killing day" unwillingly come together to protect each other. Suspenseful action viewed from multiple perspectives keeps the tension high in this (somewhat implausible) Stephen King–esque story of darkness lurking within a small town.
