Hit Squad is another high /low book I?ve read about Mickey a tough teen who is having a tough time in his new school. Bullies have been running the roost at this school and Mickey is not the only target. Mickey gets involved with a vigilante group at school who decide to take the bullying issue into their own hands with tragic results.
Hit Squad certainly has a high level of interest and drama which would no doubt hold the attention of most teens. Bullying is a common issue for school children and if someone has been bullied then they have no doubt harbored thoughts of retribution. This story speaks to the issues of bullying and vengeance without trying to soften the issues. The story presents the main character with moral issues to deal with at every turn, which is something that teens will no doubt be able to relate.
