Imagine Stepford Wives from a teen perspective. Imagine a perfect town where teens love to do homework, obey their parents, always eat healthy, and never question authority. This is the town of Candor. Candor by Pam Bachorz is a very easy read and I think it would be enjoyable for young adults as well as adults. Retails for $16.99 but on sale at Amazon as of this posting for just $11.55.
