About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager begins to question the source of their family wealth or expresses a growing skepticism toward corporate influence and systemic power. It is a sophisticated thriller that speaks to the moment a child realizes their parents are fallible humans with potentially dark secrets. The story follows Alix, a privileged girl who discovers that her father's public relations firm specializes in suppressing scientific evidence to protect dangerous products. As she joins a group of underground activists, she is forced to choose between the comfortable life she knows and the moral obligation to tell the truth. It is an intense exploration of integrity, corporate ethics, and the painful process of defining one's own values apart from family loyalty. Because of its complex moral dilemmas and fast-paced tension, it is an excellent choice for mature teens ready to engage with real-world social justice issues.
