About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager begins to question the status quo or feels stifled by the rigid expectations of school and social structures. It is a powerful tool for discussing the balance between personal memory and collective harmony. In a future where history is erased daily to prevent conflict, Paul commits a random act of vandalism that awakens his suppressed emotions and his desire for a real identity. This story explores themes of justice, the importance of the past, and the price of a peaceful society. It is appropriate for middle and high schoolers who are ready for a thought-provoking, slightly melancholic look at what it means to be truly free in a world that values conformity above all else.
