The Ministry of Manners

In a world where politeness is enforced by law and silence is mandatory, Alfie and Margot Hawthorne navigate the dangers of conformity and rebellion. When Margot is taken to a restrictive retreat, she fights to stay true to herself, while Alfie joins a group daring to speak out against the oppressive regime. This middle-grade adventure from David Solomons explores themes of individuality, resistance, and the power of voice.
