Give a Boy a Gun is an epistolary novel for young adults by Todd Strasser, first published in 2000. The novel describes the events and social circumstances that lead up to, and form the aftermath of, a fictional school shooting. The story is presented in the form of segments of transcribed post-incident interviews with students, parents, teachers, and community members, compiled by Denise Shipley, a journalism student who is the stepsister of one of the shooters. The interviews provide a variety of viewpoints on the incident – some sympathetic, others hostile. Interspersed through the book are footnotes providing statistical information about guns and gun violence.

  • Ich knall euch ab! (engl. Originaltitel: Give a Boy a Gun) ist ein Roman des unter dem Pseudonym Morton Rhue schreibenden US-amerikanischen Schriftstellers Todd Strasser, von dem auch der Roman Die Welle stammt. In den USA erschien der Roman am 1. September 2000, in deutscher Sprache im Jahr 2002. Das Werk handelt von einem Amoklauf zweier Schüler, die von ihren Klassenkameraden gemobbt wurden. Es war der erste Roman zum Thema School Shooting, der nach dem Amoklauf an der Columbine High School (1999) veröffentlicht wurde. Die fiktive Handlung weist Ähnlichkeiten zum Columbine-Amoklauf auf, Rhue begann seine Recherchen für das Buch jedoch bereits, bevor sich dieser ereignete. (de)

Interspersed through the book are footnotes providing statistical information about guns and gun violence. The plot has some similarities to the real-life Columbine High School massacre of April 20, 1999, although Strasser began research on the book before the Columbine shooting. The book was the first book relating to school shootings published after Columbine. (en)
