| Candor By Pam Bachorz |
In a town where his father brainwashes everyone, Oscar Banks has found a way to secretly fight the Messages that turn even the most rebelled kids into perfect little teenagers. When he's around classmates he's a model citizen, always does what he's told, is a model sport to keep up his appearance. Once he's alone , he's a rebel teen, and no one knows that he's built an entire business around helping new kids escape before the Messages take hold of them and change them forever.
When Nia Silva moves to town, Oscar sees her one night spray painting the driveway he believes she's perfect just the way that she is and begins to know more about her. Before long the messages start taking root in Nia's brain, and suddenly she starts changing. She isn't the same Nia he fell in love with, shes just another person his father has created. Soon he must make a choice: let Nia stay the way she is and let her be lost to the brainwashing, or help her stay special and risk himself in the process. Whichever choice he makes, will change Oscar forever.
As I was reading this story, it stuck out to me as the perfect utopia it was interesting in some parts, but others just seemed pointless. When Nia moved into Candor the story started to get intense the more she talked to him. As I delved further into the story the more I was curious to know how it turned out. Soon the story became complicated and it became more intense and I became anxious, soon I was turning the pages as quick as I could. The book was completely unexpected. It was one of the books that I've read that will stay buried in my mind forever.
I believe the author's intent in writing this story was to have her fans experience a page turning novel that will have them breathless by the end of the story.
Some of the organizational patterns I observed was
