 Have you ever thought about how one Decision one moment in time can actually shape the rest of your life. This is what Barry Liga is Exploring in his book bang Sebastian was four years old when an awful accident happened. He was playing with a gun one of his parents guns In his house and he accidentally shot and killed his baby sister Let that sink in that's awful an awful thing to have happened to you an awful thing to deal with the guilt and Everything that goes into something like that. I can barely fathom and so that is what Sebastian has been dealing with now we look at Sebastian and he's a teenager and All throughout his life people have asked him, you know questions like do you remember doing this? Like how does that make you feel? How do you live on? Just those awful kind of things that you know someone would ask and the sad thing is He's written with guilt about it and also his parents don't like to talk about it and so it's just something that's like inside of him that he has to contain the emotions of and That's really hard Well in comes a girl named Anissa Anissa is Also, I guess looked at as a little bit different in her school. She's a Muslim girl. She's new and So they really hit it off Sebastian and Anissa and they form this friendship And it's someone who's been able to just accept him for who he is Accept his story. She doesn't really know His whole entire story because she's new and wasn't there When this happened and so They have a really awesome relationship and so that's part of also what this explores is healing Friendship acceptance and then there's also a twist in this story that is pretty interesting Pretty intense keeps you on your toes. And so I really do recommend the book bang. It's on the sequoia book award List for this year and I hope you enjoy it
