Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the seductive lure of social power or the moral compromises that often come with trying to fit in. This sophisticated political thriller is set within the microcosm of an elite high school, following Claudia, a girl with a stutter who finds herself unexpectedly ascending the ranks of student government. It is a sharp examination of how 'good' people can be corrupted by influence, making it an excellent choice for discussing integrity, the weight of secrets, and the reality of social hierarchies. The story deals with mature themes of manipulation and betrayal, suited for readers aged 14 and up who are ready to deconstruct the 'survival of the fittest' mentality of adolescence.
