This was such an enjoyable read. When I was younger, I wanted to write books like this: love, activism, and fighting back. I definitely recommend it!

Really strong concept but several gaping holes in the plot construction - focuses so much on the three main characters that the legitimacy/believability of the dome is overlooked

Being a teenager is hard, Jamal has the added layer of being Black and surrounded by cops and politicians who think his skin color makes him a threat. When a protest turns into the city of Baltimore being covered in a dome he forms a rag tag group with a hacker and a military veteran to try and take down the corrupt government and police force.
