As a March snowstorm hits a small Iowa town, a man with a gun enters the local school, taking a class full of children and their teacher hostage. The police respond quickly, surrounding the school and requesting help from neighboring towns. Parents hurry to the school to find out what is happening. No one seems to know the identity of the gunman or why he is doing this.

This story is told from the points-of-view of five different characters. Holly is in the hospital. She is the mother of two children in that building. Augie is Holly's daughter, hoping to rescue her younger brother. Will is Holly's father who is waiting with the parents of other children in the school. Mrs. Oliver is the third-grade teacher whose class is being held by the gunman. Meg is a local cop who is trying to find out why someone would take a gun into a school.

This is the first book I've read by this author. I will be looking for more of her titles. This book was hard to put down. It wasn't very suspenseful. It was more like a mystery with us having to figure out the identity of the gunman and his reason for holding the children hostage. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
