Double Danger enclosed the critical topic of violence in the schools. The book begins with a terrible fight that is gang related and the crowd is cussing at each other. A boy in a green cap stabbed a knife into the heart of another guy and killed him. The green gang was standing there cheering him on because he murdered a man. The news team began to question the laws on purchasing a gun and were they strict enough. One girl was expelled for having scissors in her backpack and they believed that it could be used for a weapon. Josh, Dan, Darby, Sarah, and Izzy arrived at the mall and they were approached by three high school students. They threatened them and made fun of them for their news story on violent in the schools. They told them to stay away and to leave the mall. Then they pulled a knife on Shane and he kicked it out of the guy's hand. This only makes them more determined to cover the issue of the increasing violent.I vastly enjoyed how this book exposed the significant issue of violence in schools and that we must understand that we must stop it. I liked how the book discussed the need that gang members feel to belong to a group and fit in with their friends. I also really liked that the book debated the theme of who can purchase guns and the laws and policies. This book can influence our generation in helping teenagers to learn to report violent behaviors and to help our fellow classmates when they are in trouble."I received this ebook for free from Litfuse Publicity Group for this review".
