Volume Four of this series wasn’t as mind-blowing to me as the earlier volumes. Perhaps Mr Keller has already plumed the depths of the most outrageous stories. What did strike me, though, was how much Keller has improved as a writer. His stories are all interesting, with facts handled adroitly, and with consummate skill in providing information in such a way that there is never any confusion as to the events portrayed. In so many ways, these various series that the author has published are far more intriguing than full volumes by other authors that consider only a single case study. I think I’ve read about sixty of Keller’s books so far and look forward to the new ones that generally come out every month. This book is well worth your time.

Boys and girls who took the wrong road
It's always disturbing to read about children who murder. Sometimes they kill their parents and/or siblings because of real or imagined slights or troubled relationships. Even worse, though, is when children kill outside the family.
Both types are covered in this book. There's a young poisoner who enjoys others' suffering and a babysitter who brings death to babies; school shooters and a little girl who enjoys choking toddlers.
There's no denying that kids who kill are a double tragedy.

A tragic collection of crime
Here are 22 cases of children who committed murder, and that is only a sample of the children and teenagers who exacted the supreme punishment. Some of these cases are not surprising to anyone who was not raised in a healthy, loving environment. The tragedy is that these kids saw murder as the only way out of their situation.
One young killer said that life in a prison cell was by far preferable to his life at home and at school.

“The kids sure are quiet tonight...”
This book is a savage exposé of the internal life of some disturbed children. Not every child was abused or ill-treated by a parent. Most of these kids seem to have just been born bad. The stories are, for the most part, a bit longer than in many of Keller’s previous books and this paid off as the more information he offered, the more chilling the story became. Of particular interest to me was the story of what appears to have been a bit of a savant poisoner who was so precocious with his chemistry at eleven years of age, that he was able to murder with impunity. How many people could suspect such a thing? In fact, though, most of these tales depict children who are wise beyond their years. Terrifying tales!

So if you are looking for a book that is well written and well researched then look no further. This book and author will definitely not only please you beyond all expectations but you will soon be just like me and ready for his next new book!!! Is so worth the little bit of money and you will be more then pleased!!!!

Shocking crimes of juvenile perpetrators
I have read the first three books in this series and I actually enjoyed them quite a bit. They each contain numerous different accounts of crimes committed by kids, teenagers too. I like that each volume presents each tale in a concise and abbreviated format, almost in anthology format, if you will. I enjoy full on novels as much as the next reader, but sometimes you can get just what you need in a shorter tale, just enough detail for you to know just how horrific these crimes were, without a full epitome. I am starting the next volume immediately! Sometimes I like to take a break from whatever else might be reading and jaunt through a few of the stories these contain. I really like the way the author presents these stories. If you are interested in the true crime genre, all of these are worth a read. I think because of the stories being presented in a shorter format, the reader doesn't have time to get bored with them. I look forward to reading more from this author.

It's disturbing when a youngster is abused by family, the foster system, and bullied at school without having someone to reach out to help. Sometimes monsters are definitely created.
If adults can have problems with impulse control it's a certainty that a teen without any positive role models can. It's even more tragic when innocent victims are made to suffer for an abused teen's earlier up bringing.
They often don't go after the source of their abuse, others are targeted. Neither is the correct response, but those left behind wondering what could have been done to prevent such tragic consequences?

Shocking kids in shockingly sad situations
5 stars
I enjoyed how this book was written in a factual way. It was very sad what lead these kids to making these horrible choices and the devastation their actions left. I’d hope anyone reading this learns from their mistakes so that more children can be protected from going down these sad paths and lives can be saved.

A good read. Like the work of Robert Keller.
Read a lot of his books, and will be continuing to do so. Stories can be a bit grim, sad to think what people are capable of. Maybe that's why we get fascinated with death and murder.

Very sad
Is insightful, sad, hindsight (just obvious in something else places and very shocking in others) and brought about anxiety. Heartbreaking and educational in that humans are humans. It's a very goid but very painful read.

Loved this book. I’m a huge true crime fan. Very interesting to see how the minds of these children work and what makes them tick. Getting ready to start book 1 now.

Cold, calculated, young murderers
These cases just overwhelm me, thinking a child could commit such horrible acts of violence. I understand some of these kids had a horrible upbringing with no stability, but there are a lot of kids who are in the system that do not murder anyone.
Some of these kids were just cold blooded , killing their parents because of a disciplinary act. Some had a great life and chose to ever the wrong way.
The fact that Mr Keller could find these many accounts of juvenile offenders just shocks me. I really didn't realize there were that many until I started reading this series.
I think he does great research on his novels therefore leaving the reader without confusion as to what he has aspired in recreating these murderers and also the victims.
I look forward to the next book in the series and others books he may write.

Another winner
This is a new book in author Keller's anthologies about kids who kill. Although Columbine is the subject of one of the chapters, most of the stories were lesser known with maybe the exception of Mary Bell. Makes for interesting reading as I have a young teen of my own. He seems pretty normal though!

Ja, deze boeken happen lekker weg, maar dat doet een big Mac ook. Maakt dat ze vier sterren waard? De rammelende grammatica in ieder geval niet.
