A note for parents

Second Shift is a dystopian sci-fi novel that explores themes of truth, resistance, and moral complexity in a society built on lies and control. While not graphically violent, it contains moderate psychological tension, some physical conflict, and heavy thematic content about manipulation and systemic oppression. The narrative demands maturity to follow its layered plot and moral ambiguities, making it better suited for older teens.
