But 17-year-old Layla refuses to stay silent and accept this cruel treatment. When Layla meets other teens who also want to act, they begin to implement a dangerous plan to inform the wider world about what is really occurring inside the facility. This novel is fast-paced and harrowing, but ultimately hopeful to read. It also challenges readers to examine the current political climate in the United States, and to consider how easily biased and prejudiced thought can develop into discriminatory actions and behavior against people in the real world.
