Candor by Pam Bachorz


Candor, FL is an exclusive new comunity attracting new families all the time because of it's promise of a small town feel as well as being good for troubled teens. In actuality it's a town that once you move in it's almost impossible to get out because of it's hidden secrets, which are everywhere. The main characters are Oscar and Nia. Oscar is the creator of the communities son, who isn't affected by his fathers sumbliminal messages because he's trained himself not to be, but his father doesn't know it. Oscar is the model teen in the the town and has seen the changes that his peers go through after a couple weeks in the town. He's even helped several escape. He meets Nia and decides he doesn't want to see her succumb to the messages, so he vows to help her without her knowledge. Definitely a lot of action and typical teen behavior. This reminded me of the Stepford Wives, yet for teens. This book does make you question whether it is possible to control people's minds and also about lost love and opportunities. I was disappointed with the ending because I wanted to see it turn out different and I thought it left a lot of unanswered questions.
