And as tensions build on both sides, the conflict slowly escalates toward the unthinkable: a second American civil war.With political questions that are popular in American culture yet rare in YA fiction, and a provocative plot that asks what happens when the states are no longer united, Divided We FAll is Trent Reedy's very timely YA debut. The president wants the soldiers arrested. but then Danny's gun misfires, spooking the other soldiers and the already fractious crowd, and by the time the smoke clears, twelve people are dead. When the Guard is called up on the governor's orders to police a protest in Boise, it seems like a routine crowd-control mission. In fact, he enlisted in the Idaho National Guard because he wanted to serve his country the way his father did. Trent Reedy is the author of 'Divided We Fall' and 'Burning Nation,' the first two books in a trilogy about the second American Civil War 'If Youre Reading This' 'Stealing Air' and 'Words in the Dust,' which was the winner of the Christopher Medal and an Al Rokers Book Club pick on the 'Today Show. "DIVIDED WE FALL delivers cover-to-cover action, intrigue and suspense, all with a gut-punch of an ending that'll leave you begging for the next installment." - Brad Thor, author of THE LAST PATRIOTDanny Wright never thought he'd be the man to bring down the United States of America.
