About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with questions of legacy, institutional distrust, or the heavy weight of labels they did not choose for themselves. It is an ideal pick for a young reader who feels like an outsider and is looking for a story where being different is a source of power, albeit one fraught with political complexity and danger. Following Jonah and Emma as they investigate a supposed terrorist commune, the story explores the blurry lines between safety and surveillance. The narrative addresses the emotional toll of isolation and the importance of finding a community that accepts you for who you are. Parents should note that while it is an exciting urban fantasy, it contains moderate violence and profanity consistent with young adult literature, making it best suited for those 12 and up.
