In small-town America, a young adult novel about teen pregnancy is banned by the local school board, igniting a fierce and violent debate over abortion, religious beliefs, and modern feminism. Its directionless New York City author arrives in town to defend the book and finds that it has inspired a group of local teens to rebel in strange and unexpected ways. A timely and unforgettable drama about the failure of urban and heartland America to understand each other, "The Metal Children" explores what happens when fiction becomes a matter of life and death.

"[Rapp] shows an exuberant love for the written word...[He] tells stories that encase classical themes - class and envy, ambition and alienation - in blunt terms and in modern settings." - JESSE McKINLEY, The New York Times"  Be the first to write a customer review
