A gripping, thought-provoking classic inspired by a true story that explores the dangers of groupthink and authoritarianism--perfect for readers of Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies, and The Hunger Games.Inspired by a shocking real-life classroom experiment, The Wave follows a high school history teacher who challenges his students to understand how ordinary people could have embraced Nazi Germany. But when he launches a social experiment built on unquestioning loyalty, the movement takes on a life of its own. What begins as a lesson quickly transforms into a powerful force that sweeps through the school. As students embrace belonging over individuality and obedience over independent thought, they must confront a chilling question: How far would you go to fit in? The Wave is a compelling classic that sparks conversations about conformity, power, and the fragility of democracy.
