Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the pressure to be 'cool' or is facing the fallout from a poor decision made in the heat of the moment. It is a cautionary tale that explores the heavy burden of secrets and the way one lapse in judgment can snowball into a life-altering crisis. Through the eyes of Jason, a fundamentally good kid, the story illustrates how peer influence and fear can lead to a series of escalating mistakes. Eve Bunting masterfully handles themes of accountability, guilt, and the fragility of trust. While the plot involves a car and a tragic accident, the emotional core is about the internal battle between doing what is right and doing what is easy. It is a sobering, realistic look at the consequences of dishonesty, making it an excellent bridge for serious conversations about integrity and the courage required to tell the truth before a situation spins out of control.
