RIGHT BEHIND YOU: Gail Giles: Little, Brown Young Readers: 2007: Young Adult: 304 pgs.A great novel about consequences, acceptance, and redemption. I have wondered how people live after they have killed someone, and this book tells that tale. Young Kip strikes out in a rage against a friend which results in the friend’s death. The story continues as Kip is placed in a mental ward and then released at the age of 14. Told from his perspective it’s a compelling story of his attempts to deal with his actions, and find a way to live a happy and productive life. A great book for reluctant readers. Although the theme is serious, it is a very enjoyable read and I would recommend it to anyone 14 years +.
