(3) YA When Kevin saves popular-girl Leah from a serial killer, he is instantly elevated from nobody to hero. He's then demoted to pariah after removing patriotic magnets from his car. The ensuing debate over true patriotism proves particularly relevant to Kevin's father, a veteran. Kevin's questionable motives and family troubles spice up a thoughtful, timely free-speech parable.
