About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning the invisible social structures around them or expresses a desire to understand experiences radically different from their own. It is an ideal pick for students who feel stuck in a specific social role, such as the athlete or the popular kid, and are ready to examine their own privilege and biases through a speculative lens. The story follows Ash, a white high school football player, who is knocked into parallel dimensions where his reality shifts in jarring ways. Through these shifts, the book explores systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia. While the high concept premise is exciting, the core of the book is a deep, empathetic look at social justice and personal accountability, making it a powerful tool for raising socially conscious young adults.
