About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager begins questioning the ethics of law, the value of life, or the boundaries of parental authority. It is a powerful tool for navigating the transition into adulthood where young people start to see the world not as it should be, but as a complex and sometimes unfair system. The story follows three teens fighting for their lives in a world that views them as sets of spare parts. Shusterman masterfully weaves together themes of bodily autonomy, religious duty, and social class. While the premise is chilling, it serves as a profound mirror for real-world discussions about how society treats its most vulnerable members. It is best suited for mature readers who can handle intense psychological suspense and ethical dilemmas.
