The New York Times bestselling author of Columbine offers a deeply moving account of the extraordinary teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting who pushed back against the NRA and launched the singular March for Our Lives movement. Dave Cullen, who has been reporting on the epidemic of school shootings for two decades, takes us along on the Parkland students' nine-month odyssey to the midterm elections and beyond. With unrivaled access to their homes and headquarters, he pulls back the curtain to reveal intimate portraits of the quirky, playful organizers who have captivated the nation. He brings us onto their Road to Change tour and shows how these kids seized an opportunity, hitting the highway to organize the young activist groups mushrooming across America. Parkland is a story of staggering empowerment and hope, told through the wildly creative and wickedly funny voices of a group of remarkable kids. This spellbinding book is a testament to change and a perceptive examination of a pivotal moment in American culture.
"Parkland is exceptional. I really look forward to it being unleashed to the world, because the Parkland students really did something. They are a political force to be reckoned with in our country." - Elise Jordan, NBC political analyst
"[Parkland is] written with the clarity and depth and time... that the students who died and the students who live deserve, and that the nation grappling with it all needs. I was moved and informed and, most of all, heartbroken by it - even though it's written with authentic hope." - Chicago Tribune
"Part character study, part media analysis, part political critique, Parkland ends up being many things. Thanks to Dave Cullen's gift for clear, involving storytelling, it ends up being, above all, a compelling "year-in-the-life" tale of a group of ordinary, yet also extraordinary, teens." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"In the hands of a less-skilled writer, a project like Parkland might risk becoming the type of uplifting but empty text that typically arrives with aspirations of cashing in on a cultural moment. Instead, Cullen utilizes the moment to amplify the Parkland students' calls for actions while situating his views within a structure of quality reporting that emphasizes facts above emotions." - San Francisco Weekly
"Parkland is a moving petition to America that it not look away from the catastrophes at Columbine, Newtown, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and, yes, Parkland. It succeeds as an in-depth report about the "generational campaign" in the aftermath of the Parkland tragedy, a bi-partisan movement advocating serious gun reform." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Parkland is one of the most uplifting books you will read all year. . . . [it] is a balm. . . . genius." - Washington Post
"[Parkland] provides nuanced, sensitive portraits of the Parkland kids who have become media stars. . . . These are extraordinary young people, and Cullen does them and us a great service by showing their ordinary lives." - San Francisco Chronicle
"Parkland is the first book about the shooting that's not marketed toward teens and young adults. It also may be the most optimistic of the bunch. . . . an inspiring read." - The Atlantic
Parkland is an unexpectedly lively chronicle with a powerful message. - Newsday
"If any nonfiction writer is equipped to tell this story, it's Dave Cullen." - Book Forum
"In both Columbine and this up-to-the minute portrait of the Parkland tragedy, Cullen has produced masterpieces that are simultaneously heartbreaking and hopeful about a saner future." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[A] page-turner. . . . Both realistic and optimistic, this insightful and compassionate chronicle is a fitting testament to a new chapter in American responses to mass shootings." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Cullen brings his eloquence, expertise, combination of deep research and concision, and unbiased perspective to yet another mass school shooting, revealing its deepest layers and resonance. . . . [a] moving, defining, and important account of an essential and vital youth movement." - Booklist (starred review)
