(4) YA Sensitive fifteen-year-old Connor is reluctantly drawn into a game of Russian roulette, which ends in the death of his best friend. The story is told in brief chapters that alternate between Connor's life after the shooting, stray flashbacks, and odd fantasy scenes involving a dragon. Though the characters are well realized, the writing--choppy sentences interspersed with flowery descriptions--is self-conscious.
