Reach for this book when your teen expresses a desire to change the world but feels small, or when they are struggling to find a social group where they truly belong. It serves as a powerful bridge for teens who feel like 'outsiders' and need to see how diverse perspectives can come together to create a meaningful community impact. The story tackles the complexities of modern social justice and the weight of digital footprints with nuance and heart. While the plot involves 'saving' people from local injustices, the core of the book is about the intense, transformative power of new friendships and the courage it takes to be vulnerable. It models how to stand up for others while navigating the messy realities of growing up. Given the themes of social media ethics and teenage independence, it is best suited for readers aged 13 and up who are ready to discuss systemic fairness and personal responsibility.
