Are our schools safe? Its hard to turn on the news without hearing thisquestion and the answer is typically no. This novel explores what happenswhen bullying escalates to violence and it challenges our definition ofvictimization. With thoughtprovoking prose Suzanne Phillips explores thepsyche of Cameron a bullied freshman who ultimately does the unthinkable hekills another student. As she did with Chloe Doe Suzanne has found a way tomake this seemingly dark story ultimately redemptive. But she also daresreaders to look at the behavior that provokes violence as having the potentialto be as dangerous as the violence itself. Its Suzannes hope that Burn willinspire readers to take a precautionary stance against bullying rather thanwaiting to react to it. «
