About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating the intense, often overwhelming physical and emotional changes of puberty, or when they are seeking a story about fierce female loyalty in the face of isolation. Set at a quarantined boarding school where a mysterious plague called the Tox mutates the girls' bodies, this atmospheric thriller explores survival and sisterhood. It is a visceral, sometimes haunting look at how young women reclaim their agency when their world and their own skin feel foreign. Parents should be aware that the story contains graphic body horror and high stakes, making it best suited for mature readers aged 14 and up who enjoy dark, thought-provoking science fiction. It offers a powerful metaphor for the 'wildness' of growing up and the strength found in unconditional friendship.
