What We Saw

Reach for this book when your teenager is grappling with the complexities of digital ethics, the blurring lines of consent, or the pressure to remain silent when a peer group is in the wrong. It is a vital tool for starting conversations about social responsibility in the age of viral videos and the courage required to challenge a prevailing community narrative. While the book uses a contemporary mystery involving a high school party to explore deep themes of justice and shame, it serves as a powerful mirror for discussing real-world events where community loyalty clashes with moral truth. This story provides a safe but challenging space for high schoolers to examine their own boundaries and the weight of what they witness online. It is best suited for older teens due to its mature subject matter regarding sexual assault and systemic silence.
