Overview: A riveting novel unraveling the fates of the “bad kids,” the leaders who want to fix them, and the teachers caught in between in a post-pandemic middle school. The latter recognize a faulty system in the programs with good intention but we all know what can come of those. Disaster. Perfection. Chaos. Control.
You’ve survived quarantine but you get back to school and they tell you more than an injection is required. They will give you success. They’ll give you an excellent future. You just have to give them your mind.
It’s one year after the end of distance learning and though the masks are off and things are “back to normal,” the school system and troubled students like Zeke Thompson still haven’t recovered. He and his friends gained notoriety last year for scheduled fist fights, destruction of public property, and oppositional defiance disorders. Administrators are at a loss and teachers are fearful of safety for students and themselves. In the wake of some serious trauma, Zeke is just trying to survive but can’t seem to stay out of the principal’s office.
A mysterious corporation and politician claim they have a solution for problems like him and his friends. The G.R.O. Initiative makes some big promises for even bigger results. When implemented they seemed too good to be true. The initial changes are great but with compliance comes a dark cost that Zeke isn’t willing to pay. When he and his friends stumble upon a shocking truth, one wrong move could lead to their silence, or worse. The fire is spreading, and he has a choice to make:
Lose his mind and join the hive, or stay true to his identity and burn the institution to the ground?
