Reach for this book when your teen starts questioning why everyone is wearing the same brand of sneakers or why certain trends suddenly seem to be everywhere. It is a perfect choice for the young person who feels like an outsider or who is becoming skeptical of social media influence and corporate marketing. The story follows Hunter, a trend-spotter paid to find the next big thing, and Jen, a girl who operates on a level of cool that Hunter can't quite categorize. As they get swept up in a mystery involving a missing shoe designer and a group of underground rebels called Jammers, the book explores how we build our identities in a consumerist world. It deals with themes of authenticity, peer influence, and the desire to be unique. It is a fast-paced, smart read that encourages critical thinking about the media we consume without being preachy, making it ideal for middle and high schoolers who are finding their own voice.
