The author, John Blossom takes many young adult issues of today and brings them to the forefront in this futuristic-style story. These issues include bullying, cheating, thinking outside the box, censoring, and finding your own way to name a few. Blossom handles these issues in a realistic manner that is both captivating and edge-of-your-seat tenseness. He utilizes dialogue in an authentic manner to keep the story moving forward. His character development is realistic as well and down to earth. The situations are relatable regardless of one’s age. Blossom has captured and vividly portrayed the issues of teens today.
