The New York Times bestseller about the extraordinary young survivors who took on the gun lobby: "One of the most uplifting books you will read all year." -TheWashington Post Back in 1999, Dave Cullen was among the first to arrive at Columbine High, even before most of the SWAT teams went in. While writing his acclaimed account of the tragedy, he suffered two bouts of secondary PTSD. He covered all the later tragedies from a distance, working with a cadre of experts cultivated from academia and the FBI, but swore he would never return to the scene of a ghastly crime. But in 2018, Cullen went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because something radically different was happening. After nearly twenty years witnessing the mass shooting epidemic escalate, he was stunned and awed by the courage, anger, and conviction of the high school's students. Refusing to allow adults and the media to shape their story, these remarkable adolescents took control-pushing back against the NRA and feckless Congressional leaders, organizing the massive March for Our Lives demonstration, and inspiring millions to join their grassroots #neveragain movement. They used their grief as a catalyst for change, and galvanized a nation. Cullen unfolds the story of Parkland through the voices of key participants. Instead of taking us into the mind of the killer, he takes us into the hearts of the Douglas students as they cope with the concerns of high school students everywhere-awaiting college acceptance letters, studying for midterms, competing against their athletic rivals, putting together the yearbook, staging the musicalSpring Awakening, enjoying prom-while moving forward from a horrific event that has altered them forever. Deeply researched and beautifully told,Parklandis "a moving petition to America that it not look away from the catastrophes at Columbine, 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). "[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)

"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 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
