About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager begins to question the fallibility of adults or is struggling with the heavy burden of a secret. Set within the pressure cooker of an elite boarding school, the story follows Jonathan Medley as he grapples with the sudden death of a teacher he admired. It is a sophisticated exploration of moral ambiguity that goes beyond a simple whodunit. As Jonathan uncovers uncomfortable truths about his mentors, he must decide if loyalty to a friend is more important than the objective truth. It is an ideal pick for ages 12 to 16, offering a mature look at how integrity is often tested in shades of gray rather than black and white. Parents will appreciate how it validates the complex emotional transition from childhood innocence to adult realization.
