Reach for this book when your teenager feels isolated or like they do not quite fit into a specific social clique. While framed as a spine-tingling ghost story, Project 17 is ultimately a study of identity and the unexpected bonds formed between strangers under pressure. The story follows six very different teens who break into a legendary abandoned asylum to film a documentary, only to find that their internal struggles are as significant as the external scares they encounter. Parents will appreciate the way the narrative explores self-discovery and the breaking down of social barriers through a high-stakes adventure. It is an ideal choice for the 12 to 17 age range, offering a gripping mystery that serves as a metaphor for the 'haunted' feeling of being an outsider in high school. It provides a safe way to discuss bravery, group dynamics, and the importance of looking past labels.
