YAOrca Soundings series.
High schooler Jack's concern about his friend Leah's plan to have plastic surgery leads to the uncovering of unscrupulous medical practices. He organizes protest marches that unfortunately turn violent with his brother's involvement. This short, quick read has a plausible conclusion and a strong but not beat-you-over-the-head-with-it message.
