Jennifer Brown tackles another hard subject for teens in her novel, Hate List. After Valerie Leftman's boyfriend, Nick, opens fire on their school cafeteria, Val is shot trying to stop him, but is implicated in the shootings because of the list she helped create. Now, Val is forced to confront her guilt as she returns to school to complete her senior year. Jennifer Brown is the two-time winner of the Erma Bombeck Global Humor Award and a humor columnist for The Kansas City Star (winning the Missouri Writer's Guild 2008 Conference Award for Best Newspaper Column).
