ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"This Is Where It Ends" by Marieke Nijkamp tells the story of a school shooting at Opportunity High, where four teenagers experience the tragic events from their individual perspectives. The novel explores the complex web of personal histories, relationships, and community dynamics that lead to the violent act. As the story unfolds, the reader is immersed in the perspectives of Claire, who is running to find help, Autumn, who is trapped with her brother in the auditorium, and Sylv, who is trying to protect those around her, as well as Tomás, who was in detention and is trying to get to his sister. The narrative reveals how a seemingly ordinary day turns into a horrific nightmare, exposing the hidden resentments and failures in communication within the community. The book delves into themes of loss, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of unchecked anger, and highlights the ways in which individuals react under extreme pressure.
