About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling to find their footing in a digital world or if you are navigating the complexities of a blended family after a period of estrangement. The Glare follows Hedda, a sixteen-year-old moving from a tech-free life on a remote ranch to the high-tech suburbs of California. As she tries to assimilate, she becomes ensnared in a dark web game that blurs the lines between virtual horror and her own repressed trauma. This is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the fear of losing control and the anxiety of modern connectivity. It is best suited for older teens due to its intense horror elements and themes of mental health. It serves as a powerful conversation starter about screen addiction, the psychological impact of digital media, and the importance of facing internal shadows rather than running from them.
