Description
The Wave is a thought-provoking novel based on a true story from a Californian high school. In 1958, a teacher attempted to demonstrate the dangers of groupthink and propaganda by creating a wave of enthusiasm among his students. However, the experiment quickly spiralled out of control, with the students becoming increasingly devoted to the cause. The story follows Laurie, who is initially unsure of what to make of the phenomenon. As the wave sweeps through the school, Laurie's classmates become more and more extreme in their views, and Laurie knows she must intervene before it's too late. This powerful and timely novel explores the dangers of blind conformity and the importance of critical thinking. The Wave is part of Penguin's Originals collection, a series of iconic and thought-provoking novels that tackle big issues and difficult truths.
