When teenagers start pillaging apples from the local orchard, what begins as harmless mischief spirals into something far more sinister. This darkly comic novel explores themes of youth rebellion, community hypocrisy, and the price of growing up too fast in a place where everyone knows your business. Perfect for fans of contemporary fiction with bite, particularly readers who enjoyed books like *My Education* or *The Secret History*. If you love stories where teenage angst meets adult consequences, this one's calling your name. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks shows gentle reading wear but remains in excellent condition—ready for its next adventure on your bookshelf. **Reader Reviews:** *"Wickedly funny and surprisingly profound. Couldn't put it down once those kids started their orchard raids!"* *"Finally, a coming-of-age story that doesn't treat teenagers like precious angels. Raw, honest, and absolutely gripping."* Show more
