Candor -- a review by Molly Varney


Candor by Pam Bachorez  

**** Stars

"In this town, you are what you hear." In Candor Florida, everything is perfect. The Children have perfect grades, the families are happy, and nothing ever goes wrong. However, in a town that's supposedly perfect there is one small problem; Oscar Banks. Oscar is the son of the town's founder. He's the perfect Candor child: perfect grades, class president, and a shining example for the other kids. But for him it's all and act. He pretends to be perfect and even has a girlfiend, Mandi. But he knows about the messeges. He fights them with his own messeges and he runs his own business getting kids out before they are brainwashed. And because he's the perfect child, no one suspects him.

For Oscar, everything is runnung perfectly. His disguise is perfect and his new client, Sherman, is almost ready to leave. He had no worries until a new family moved in. Their daughter, Nia, is able to see right through his act. Oscar is immediantly interested in her resistance to the messeges. Now he must either save her from the messeges by sending her away, or help her learn to resist the messeges completely. Will he risk a trip to the listening room where even the most resistant minds are wiped clean? In the end will he choose to trust the wrong people?

I gave this book a 4 out of 5 stars because at the end it lets you to decide what happens to the characters. I'm not a big fan of those endings but I thought this book was really good. It was interesting and it kept me interested.
