Paul gradually forms opinions of his own, but readers don't have to agree with him to be persuaded by Myers's main argument- that you can't hope to improve the system unless you engage with it." - The Horn Book "[E]ngrossing and fast-paced... a must-read novel." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[R]ewarding. A good fit for school libraries in which the social contract is taught or emphasized." - School Library Journal "[B]egins with a bang." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA), [R]ewarding.
