Patrick Griffin's Last Breakfast on Earth

(4) 4-6 After being forgotten at home by his distractible parents, Patrick slips into an alternate world--"Ith"--where social media runs rampant and conformity is prized above all else. There he is recruited to "restore balance" to an out-of-control regime. Timely themes of surveillance and freedom are sometimes lost under a mountain of set pieces that will frustrate as many readers as they delight.
