WHO KILLED CHRISTOPHER GOODMAN? by Allan Wolf

The story: Christopher Goodman is murdered one summer night, and although only one person pulled the trigger, many people share the guilt. If each one had done one small thing, the chain of events would have been interrupted and Christopher would have lived. And he was a nice kid. So they're all left to wonder--is there any kind of justice in the universe?

June Cleaver's ratings: Language R; Violence PG-13 (the killing is not graphically described); Sexual content PG; Nudity PG; Substance abuse PG-13; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes (murder, guilt, dysfunctional family dynamics) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.

Liz's comments: There are five points of view here, and each voice is distinct and real. I liked the story a lot and think it would be all right for MS libraries as long as a language disclaimer was attached; however, the review sources are pretty unanimous in reviewing it for 9th grade and up. So be warned.
