Three Hours by Rosamund Lupton

 

Omg. This is one of the best, most tense and exciting books I have read this year. All I can say is wow! This is definitely a 'must read'.

It's November and snowing heavily on a school in Somerset on the edge of the woods. What makes this day different from any other snowy day in the school? There are armed gunmen in the school. The Headmaster has already been shot twice, and they have no idea who will be next. Every parent, and every member of staff's worst nightmare. Every school has it's contingency plans, but those plans can't cover every contingency. Why would anyone want to shoot innocent children and staff in an inclusive, rural school? What makes someone turn into a psychopath? Who is braver - someone who is unafraid or someone who is terrified but acts anyway?

This will give you the biggest book hangover. My only issue was that it didn't go on longer. I want to know what happened next! I am so invested in this amazing school, amazing children and amazing staff. I can only hope that this couldn't happen here in real life, but unfortunately anything is possible.
