Reach for this book when your middle or high schooler feels suffocated by academic expectations, standardized testing, or a school environment that treats them like a score rather than a person. It is an ideal choice for the student who uses sarcasm as a defense mechanism against institutional pressure. The story follows George and Kate as they navigate the bizarre Whittaker Magnet School, where the pursuit of high test scores has taken a literal turn into the supernatural and the absurd. Bloor uses dark humor and a touch of horror to validate the very real anxiety of modern schooling. While the plot involves ghosts and conspiracies, the core emotional resonance lies in the battle for individuality and the right to learn for the sake of learning. It is a sharp, satirical, and ultimately empowering read for teens who feel like the 'system' is designed to make them fail.
