YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMany think they know exactly what happened at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. This masterful novel from a two-time National Book Award finalist draws on oral histories and other primary sources to explore the maelstrom of events and opinions surrounding a horrific day in American history—when the National Guard opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam War, killing four people and wounding nine others. Conflicting accounts are presented in free verse for a compelling examination of the polarized chaos that led to an avoidable tragedy. Ages 13 and up.
