About this listen

He has a goal and a plan. If he carries through with the plan, his sister will die first. His ex will die next, and he will die last. In between, he’ll take out as many people as he can. Students. Security guards. Teachers. First responders. They are all fair game.

Who will live, and who will die? How will those who live go on when their world is shattered by unthinkable tragedy?

The only bad thing about this book is that it was too short!it seemed to end quite abruptly too,I feel it could of carried on for a few more chapters. I really enjoyed it though,the narrator was good,but his female voices could do with some work!x

Beyond Broken Pencils is a fictional story that talks about one of the most heart-breaking realities of our time - school shootings in America. Julie Gilbert related a tale that was based on events that have been making the whole world sad and everyone wondering why such madness happen. I, personally, was moved by this book because I have children who goes to school and I worry for their safety everyday. We are not in America and I hope that no such thing will ever happen to our schools here.

I like the book because it gave each characters their own highlights, particularly the main one. I cried a few times, and have asked myself if I am doing everything I can to support and love my kids. This book will do that to you, make you analyze how you are dealing with the children and teens in your life. They are the most vulnerable individuals in our society and it is about time to focus, not just on what, but also on HOW they are doing.

I had a bit of an issue with the narration, but the story really made up for that.


A Heart-Breaking Story
