Touching Snow (2007 National Book Award Finalist)
by K.C.
In Touching Snow, Karina tells you how to stop bullying:
“The best way to avoid being picked on by high school bullies is to kill someone. Anyone will do. Accidental killings have the same effect as on-purpose murder. Of course, this is just my own theory. . . Because now no one jerks my braids so my neck snaps back. . .; no one pulls my backpack off and scatters my textbooks. . .; no one spits at me from the school bus. . . Not since eighth grade. Not since I killed the Daddy.”
How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Karina shares the events leading to the day of her stepfather’s death. Was it accidental, self-defense, or just plain murder?
