A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is starting to express strong, black and white views on social justice or environmental issues and needs to explore the blurry line between passion and extremism. It is a vital tool for discussing how good intentions can sometimes lead to dangerous or unethical behaviors. The story follows James Adams, a teenage secret agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a violent animal rights group. As James gets closer to the activists, the book explores themes of loyalty, the ethics of protest, and the difficulty of choosing between one's mission and one's conscience. Parents should be aware that while the book is highly engaging and fast-paced, it contains gritty realism, some coarse language, and depictions of radicalization that are best suited for mature middle schoolers and high school students.
