It was just another day in America; an unremarkable Saturday on which ten children and teens were killed by gunfire. The youngest was nine; the oldest was nineteen. White, Black, and Latino, they fell in suburbs, hamlets, and ghettos. None made the national news. There was no outrage about their passing. It was just another day in the death of America, where, on a daily average, seven children and teens are killed by guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGary Younge picked this day at random, searched for their families, and tells their stories. The nine-year-old opened the door and was shot in the head by his mother's ex-boyfriend. The eleven-year-old was killed by his friend at a sleepover in rural Michigan. The eighteen-year-old gang member on Chicago's South Side was shot in a stairwell just days after being released from prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough ten moving chapters—one for each child—Younge explores the way these children lived and lost their short lives.
