When they see a rabbit, Daniel gets down in his stance... but he won't shoot the rabbit. So he gets up, but he gets up the wrong way, his gun is pointing at his Uncle Clay. While he is getting up, the 410 gun triggers backwards and pierces his uncle's heart. Clay dies. Daniel feels that he can't live through the guilt and pain of shooting his uncle. So, on Christmas morning, he finds his 410 gun and goes into the woods where his Uncle Clay had been shot. Daniel stands in between the trees and thinks about his mean dad and the guilt and the pain. He decides he can't live through it anymore. So, he takes his 410 gun holds it to his forehead and puts his finger on the trigger......

Opinion: 

I thought this book was really good. It is very hard to predict what is going to happen next. This book is really surprising. There are so many things in this book that you don't see coming.
