Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the status quo or feels the heavy pressure of perfectionism and social conformity. In this dystopian mystery, Violet is forced to move to the town of Perfect, where everyone must wear special glasses to prevent blindness and follow rigid rules to stay 'perfect.' As Violet discovers the dark secrets behind the town's facade, the story explores the vital importance of individuality, the danger of blind obedience, and the courage required to trust one's own instincts. It is a sophisticated middle-grade read that uses a creepy, imaginative setting to validate the feelings of children who feel like they do not quite fit into the 'perfect' boxes society creates for them. While it features some eerie elements, it ultimately empowers readers to embrace their flaws and stand up for what is right.
