Teen Picks - Summer 2008

Splintering
by Eireann Corrigan
ISBN: 0606314415

From the Publisher: It's about the aftermath. It's about what happens after a stranger breaks into a house and attacks a family. It's about the sisters who must barricade themselves behind a splintering door while tethered on the phone to 911. It's about the father who nearly dies. It's about the son who hides. And everything after. Told in alternating perspectives, this is a powerful, moving story about a family that has its facade shattered by a random act of violence - and must deal with what is discovered underneath.
