Helpful Score: 2

Gudenkauf's One Breath Away was an interesting story told in an interesting way. The action--a gunman who breaks into a school and holds teachers and students hostage--takes place in a small town in Iowa over the course of one day. The story is told from multiple points of view: a teacher; a police officer; Augie, a student who is trapped in the school with her little brother, P.J., and Augie and P.J.'s grandfather. Part of the novel deals with trying to identify the gunman and his agenda. The other part of the novel delves into the backstories of the teacher, police officer and Augie's family. Good read.
