Killer Drop

Ķiller Drop is the coming of age story of Marcus, an ultra weathy, spoiled trust fund senior in an expensive private high school and his best friend, Tom, a scholarship student at the same school. A tragic accident at Whistler changes the two boys' lives forever. Killer Drop is an interesting read about taking responsibility for your actions and moving forward after tragedy.

Killer Drop will appeal to a wide range of middle and high school students, This would make a good choice for a middle or high school literature circle book. It is truly a high interest book.

At first, I thought Marcus would just be this typical rich YA who everyone loves to hate - but in fact, from the first few pages, there is something different about him. Yes, he is a jerk in many ways and yes, he doesn't really care that much, but this will quickly turn, thanks to one bad decision.

This story explores what happens when you are too cocky and ONE decision, made in an instant can transform your life, your personality and everyone around you.

This book is good - it engaged me from the first and horrified me at the same time, because it shows us how something can change in a heartbeat. The description of Marcus and how he feels and what he hears on the mountain care spine tingling. In fact, this whole book was scary and sad, but also highly engrossing.
