Benji, a transgender teenager, is sheltered by queer teenagers at an LGBTQ+ centre after fleeing the cult that raised him.
A fundamentalist sect raised Benji and unleashed the catastrophe; warnings identify transphobia and domestic and religious abuse.
Benji carries a bioweapon that is described as mutating him into a monster capable of destroying humanity.
Pay particular attention to the opening warning and the reader’s response to graphic material. A parent might also check whether themes of religious abuse, transphobia and self-injury need advance discussion.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
