Reach for this book when your child is grappling with feeling like an outsider or is starting to ask complex questions about social justice and fairness. In this second installment of The Clone Codes series, we follow Houston, a teenage cyborg living as a fugitive on the Moon. Through his eyes, readers explore a futuristic society where 'The Cyborg Act' stripping individuals of their rights mirrors historical civil rights struggles. It is a compelling choice for middle grade readers who enjoy high-stakes science fiction but are ready to engage with deeper themes of identity, bodily autonomy, and the power of non-violent protest. The story offers a safe, metaphorical space to discuss how laws can be used to marginalize people and why standing up for dignity matters, even when it feels like the whole world is against you.
