YA
In a world where schools exist only to mold students into mindless automatons, Tack is pulled into a violent rebel movement called the Truancy. Mentored by a brilliant young pacifist and martial artist, Tack seeks a balance between passivity and mindless violence. His blood-soaked adventure, though action-packed, is less philosophical than it believes.
