About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their middle schooler feels completely invisible at school or is harboring deep-seated anger due to persistent bullying. The No Bodies is a dark, cautionary tale about a student who feels like a 'nobody' and is approached by a group of ghosts offering him the power to take revenge on his tormentors. It tackles heavy themes of loneliness, the seductive nature of resentment, and the terrifying cost of losing oneself to anger. At only 60 pages, it is a fast-paced, high-interest read perfect for 11 to 15 year olds who may be reluctant readers but need a story that validates their social frustrations. Parents will appreciate how it uses a spooky, supernatural metaphor to illustrate the dangers of isolation and the importance of reclaiming one's agency in a healthy way.
