As Ozzies world begins to fall apart, the voices in his head remain strong.

If he takes a stand for anything, will it even matter? Or worse, if he does speak, will he cause more harm than good? The Way I See It is a series of novels, each from the point of view of a different teen with their own take on the challenges they encounter at Hancock High.
