About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen feels like an outsider or is questioning the systems around them, especially if they are navigating the pressure to perform for social media or corporate expectations. In this gripping dystopian tale, Katey Kid Dade attends a school where students are constantly monitored by corporate sponsors who treat their every move as market research. As Kid begins to rebel against being a data point, she must decide what her identity is worth in a world that wants to sell it back to her. It is a powerful exploration of autonomy and self-worth for ages 12 and up. It offers a sharp look at how technology and commercialism can impact a young person's sense of self, making it an excellent choice for starting conversations about digital privacy, peer pressure, and the courage to be different. The story is both a fast-paced sci-fi adventure and a grounded look at the universal struggle to find a place where you truly belong without losing who you are.
