What you might not know is what came before: a story of two teens whose lives have been inextricably linked since grade school, who were destined, some say, to meet that day in the teachers' lounge of Meadows High.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd what you definitely don't know are the words that Burn whispered to Crash right as the siege was ending, a secret that Crash has never revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Sprawling, messy, vulgar, sexy, irreverent, violent, bighearted, harrowing. These are just a few of the many adjectives about to be hurled in the direction of this roaring freight train of a debut… Gutsily conceived, written, and edited, this is, quite simply, a great American novel.”\u003cbr\u003e“[Crash and Burn] is a must-read for teens and adults alike who want to understand the lack of empathy that permeates contemporary culture; it offers no answers, but the mirror it does present may be chilling enough to awaken readers to the costs of not getting it right.”\u003cbr\u003e“Michael Hassan has written a darkly funny story about a school shooting. I didn’t know it was possible but I knew it was brave. Thankfully, he pulls it off.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALA Booklist Editors’ Choice, ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults, Bulletin Blue Ribbon (The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780062112910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Balzer + Bray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41064894103758,"sku":"9780062112910","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780062112910_a6a08183-ae0f-4841-8f91-7dcbaab61a8a.jpg?v=1652112265","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780062112910","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
