About this ebook

Jericho, November, Arielle, and their friends must step up big time to prevent a deadly school tragedy in this harrowing conclusion to Sharon M. Draper’s Jericho Trilogy.

Arielle Gresham, disliked and mistrusted by most of the students at her school, has a secret past, an unbelievably complicated present, and a shaky future. But no one knows or cares because she has managed to alienate anyone who could help her. She tries to cope with problems at school, but difficulties at home almost break her spirit.

Then, as the school tries to deal with an outbreak of false fire alarms and a series of thefts, and Arielle discovers that one classmate is addicted to prescription drugs and another is a victim on vicious online bullying. Outward appearances are seldom what they seem to be—everyone is dealing with something, it’s all a matter of how you deal with it, Arielle is figuring out.

But one kid can’t, and as he starts to crack, could he take the school tumbling down with him?

A hero is needed. But what makes a hero?

Ratings and reviews

Just got done reading it some hours ago, and I was truly shocked. The two last people I would suspect to totally go out their mind and commit such crimes. Stealing from students, that's very low for someone her age, and bringing an AK-47 to school,(I honestly didn't know what that was til I read the last book of this series),guess they don't call him crazy for nothing. Really good book.

I had to read the battle of jericho for school and this is the 3rd book of the series its crazy full of drama and hilarious I recommend this to anyone who has read the first 2 books of the series battle of jericho and november blues

Its so sad to let go of the trilogy but very good read. I'm very fond of all if Drapers books, but this one took me over
