The End of the Road

By Alvin Allen

School can be an environment that empowers love, guidance, and trust. It can be a safe zone for children, parents, and educators. But what if you heard that the school you will be attending will be the complete opposite? What would you do?

Meagan, Ernest, and their friends have encountered gang violence, bullying, poverty, peer pressure, and even death while attending Capers Middle School. Will these overwhelming and devastating circumstances destroy their friendship, or will they help the students forge a bond that will last the test of time?

Walk in the shoes of Ernest and Meagan while they take you on a journey through the halls of Capers Middle School.
