A world where children are performative objects for perfectionist families.
In the very distant future, families purchase perfectly made kids to build their wealth and status. A boy is bought by one of these families as a second child, but he has a big problem: he is defective. In a world where everything is for sale, this book offers an entertaining story that is both very far from and very close to reality, while questioning what it means to be a free individual in a perfect social order with pre-drawn boundaries.
KEY NOTES:
• Striking and unique illustrations make this book stand out.
• The story approaches the relationship between child, parent, and teacher in a manner that is both humorous and critical.
