You can’t change the past. . . .
When Michael fires his new rifle into the air on his seventeenth birthday, he never imagines that the bullet will end up killing someone. But it does—and Michael’s world is changed forever. Desperate, he wrestles with his guilt and keeps silent as his life begins to fall apart.
When Jenna’s father is killed in a freak Fourth of July accident, she’s devastated. As she grieves, she tries to understand why she no longer feels comfortable with her boyfriend, Jason, and why a guy named Michael keeps appearing in her dreams. . . .
Swallowing Stones is a haunting novel about choices . . . and devastating consequences.

I had to read this for my 8th grade this year...personally this is a typical "whodunit" mystery.well it wasn't that interesting because you can predict everything that's gona happen. The only reason why I don't rate this a 1 star is because Joyce MacDonald can write some pretty good books...but this one just ain't it.

Real stupid dialogues and the story it's self is dull. Good for 12 year old girls who don't have electricity and have no other means of entertainment
