Homeroom 10B goes to the nurse to all get flu shots. They come out being able to hear other people’s thoughts.
This is as about as fluffy as it sounds, but boy was it fun. It was silly, immature, funny, gossip-filled, and entertaining. Mlynowski did a good job of portraying teens and their everyday dramas (sometimes serious, sometimes trivial). She also explored most, if not all, aspects of this telepathy side effect—both good and bad. I figure a lot of teens wish they could hear others’ thoughts at some point (I did), but Mlynowski shows readers the pros and cons, as well as the ethical dilemmas telepathy entails. So actually there’s a little bit of substance (themes include privacy, honesty, gossip, ethics, friendship, etc), but handled in such a way that you hardly realize it.
