Three years since my best friend, Sarah, was killed in a bathroom stall during the mass shooting. Everyone knows Sarah's story--that she died proclaiming her faith. But it's not true. I know because I was with her when she died. I didn't say anything then, and people got hurt because of it. Now Sarah's parents are publishing a book about her, so this might be my last chance to set the record straight . . . but I'm not the only survivor with a story to tell about what did--and didn't--happen that day. Except Sarah's martyrdom is important to a lot of people, people who don't take kindly to what I'm trying to do. And the more I learn, the less certain I am about what's right. I don't know what will be worse: the guilt of staying silent or the consequences of speaking up . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/04\/2018 (EAN 9781338186529, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/15\/2018 (EAN 9781338186529, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2018 pg. 74 (EAN 9781338186529, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eWilson Middle\/Jr. High Catalog\u003c\/span\u003e 04\/11\/2019 (EAN 9781338186529, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/01\/2018 (EAN 9781338186529, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eWilson Senior High Catalog\u003c\/span\u003e 04\/11\/2019 (EAN 9781338186529, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keplinger, Kody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2018-08-28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Adult Fiction|Social Themes|Violence|Young Adult Fiction|School \u0026amp; Education|General|Young Adult Fiction|Social Themes|Bullying|Young Adult Fiction|Social Themes|Death, Grief, Bereavement|Young Adult Fiction|Coming of Age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Massacre survivors|School shootings|Secrecy|Bullying|Truthfulness and falsehood|Rural schools|Secrets|Truth|High schools|Schools\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.9 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781338186529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781338186529\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scholastic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51153989861654,"sku":"SP-9781338186529","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9781338186529_spiral.png?v=1774929761","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/thats-not-what-happened","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
