About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels that their unique personality or 'different' way of thinking is being treated like a problem to be solved by adults. It is an ideal choice for pre-teens and young teens who are struggling with the pressure to conform or who feel misunderstood by traditional school systems. The story follows Storm, a boy sent to a mysterious boarding school designed to 'fix' difficult children by erasing their individuality. As a psychological thriller with elements of dark fantasy and horror, the book explores profound themes of identity, the importance of memory, and the courage it takes to remain yourself in a world that demands compliance. Parents should note that while the tone is atmospheric and occasionally unsettling, the underlying message is a powerful validation of the self. It is best suited for mature readers aged 11 to 15 who enjoy stories with depth, mystery, and a touch of the macabre.
