Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
In a small Australian town during the 1960s, a young boy's life is irrevocably changed when he is drawn into a web of mystery and secrecy after a late-night visit from the town's outcast. Together, they discover a shocking crime that forces them to confront the harsh realities of prejudice, injustice, and the complexities of human nature. As the boy grapples with the weight of truth and the burden of silence, he learns about courage, friendship, and the power of standing up for what is right in a world that often turns a blind eye.
