Reception
Caitlin M. Foyt of Central Michigan Life said that as a sixth grader, when she read the book, she "believed in it. She believed in herself and in her faith and I believed in her story." After the publication of a USA Today article titled "10 years later, the real story behind Columbine" which stated that the events did not happen, Foyt said "The fact that it’s not true makes me feel cheated and lied to. Misinterpretation of the truth on any scale has consequences, even 10 years down the road."
