CHILDREN UNDER FIRE An American Crisis

Narrator Graham Halstead gives children a true voice in this heartbreaking, infuriating, and devastating account of the impact of gun violence on kids and their families. When quoting children, he treats them with respect by making them sound youthful without infantilizing their voices. Cox has done a truly remarkable job of humanizing the horrific effects of gun violence on our nation. He looks at children who have survived being shot and those who have lost loved ones to shootings. Both he and Halstead make the people involved seem real, including a girl who lost her friend, a boy who lost his father, and their family members. This is an outstanding audiobook.
