Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with feelings of powerlessness or feels that the world is unfairly judging them based on false perceptions. This high-stakes thriller follows Alice Robie, whose life is shattered when her father is murdered and she is framed for the crime via a hacked email. As she goes on the run to clear her name, the story explores deep themes of self-reliance, the double-edged sword of technology, and the resilience required to stand alone against a system that has turned against you. It is a fast-paced choice for teens who enjoy mysteries but also need a reminder that they possess the inner strength to navigate life's most terrifying crises. While it deals with grief and peril, the focus is on Alice's agency and her refusal to be a victim, making it an empowering read for young adults facing their own versions of 'world-against-me' moments.
