Reach for this book when your teenager is beginning to question the complexities of global justice and the hidden stories behind the people they see every day. This gritty, contemporary thriller bridges the gap between high-stakes espionage and the very real, often invisible struggles of illegal immigrants and those caught in the crosshairs of organized crime. It is an ideal pick for a reader who is outgrowing simple hero stories and is ready for a more nuanced look at how systems can fail individuals. The story follows Ryan, a young undercover agent, and Ning, a girl fleeing a dangerous life in China. Their paths highlight the harsh realities of human smuggling, corporate corruption, and the moral gray areas that exist in international law enforcement. While the action is fast-paced, the book deeply explores themes of resilience and the courage it takes to stand up against unfair treatment, even when it comes from within one's own organization. Parents should be aware that the book contains mature themes, including violence and the death of loved ones, suited for a mature middle schooler or high school student.
