Reach for this book when you want to help your teenager recognize that the people around them might be carrying invisible burdens and that a single person's persistence can change a life. It is an essential choice for discussing the responsibility we have to one another and the courage it takes to speak up when something feels wrong. The story follows Adam, an outgoing senior, and Julian, a soft spoken freshman who was once Adam's foster brother. When they reunite, Adam realizes Julian is trapped in a dangerous situation at home and must find a way to help him escape. While the themes of physical and emotional abuse are intense, the book focuses heavily on the power of empathy, the strength of found family, and the importance of healthy boundaries. It is best suited for older teens who are ready for a realistic, sometimes harrowing, but ultimately hopeful look at the impact of kindness.
