    An unforgettable tale brimming with suspense - The Girl Who Dared to Think will thrill fans of The Gender Game, Divergent and The Hunger Games... 
    How do you fight an enemy when they're inside your mind? 
    A gargantuan glass-walled tower looms over a deadly wilderness. They say it's all that's left. 
    The Tower's survival is humanity's survival, and each must serve it faithfully... 
    Twenty-year-old Liana Castell must be careful what she thinks. Her life is defined by the number on her wristband - a rating out of ten awarded based on her usefulness and loyalty to the Tower, and monitored by a device in her skull. A device that reports forbidden thoughts. 
    Liana is currently a four, the lowest possible acceptable score, and despite her parents' perfect scores of ten, she struggles to increase it. Rebellious ideas come all too easily, and resentfulness seems part of her being. She is an overseer-in-training, but her future will be dark if she cannot raise her worth... 
    Threes require drug treatment. 
    Twos are isolated. 
    Ones disappear. 
    When Liana's worst nightmare comes to pass and she drops to a three, desperation spurs her down a path few dare to tread. A chance encounter with a cocky young man whose shockingly dissident attitude toward the Tower couldn't possibly have earned him the perfect "ten" on his wrist, sets her on a trail to save herself - even at the risk of dropping lower. 
    Stalking the young man seemed like a simple enough task, but after events take an unexpected twist, Liana finds herself taking a treacherous dive into the darkest depths of the Tower - and the decades' old secrets buried within. 
    In a society where free thinking can make you a criminal, one girl dares to try...

    In life, we don't always make the best decisions. We fall flat on our faces. We get back up. We fall again. Some people around us try to make us feel bad for our decisions and choices. Yet, most of them have never walked a mile in our shoes. They didn't have to think and process things we did. We can take all the accountability in the world, yet those people will never be satisfied. I did the best I could with what I had. No, I didn't choose correctly. I did what I could with the situation at hand. What happened helped shape who I am now. It does not define me. Why? Because I'm still standing here.

    In a quiet valley where time moves a little slower and shadows fall a little longer, a tale has been whispered for generations. Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow captures the strange charm of a world perched between dream and folklore—where superstition lingers, and the night rides on a restless horse.
    This classic story blends gentle satire, eerie beauty, and a touch of the uncanny. It doesn't just haunt—it hums like a memory just out of reach.
