{"product_id":"book-1z4l","title":"Particles of Light","description":"A brilliant teenage boy teaches his dog to talk-and in West Texas, that's enough to get them both killed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDanny is a mixed-race teen on the autism spectrum, still reeling from his mother's murder, trying to make sense of a disconnected father, and a world, that rarely make sense back. Lido, the stray he takes in, isn't just loyal-he's observant, irreverent, and has a lot to say once Danny gives him the words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat starts as an experiment becomes something far more dangerous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause Lido doesn't just speak-he tells the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout people. About power. About the quiet, accepted things no one wants questioned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Danny and Lido navigate life in their small town West Texas, their bond deepens into something rare: two minds, human and canine, trying to understand life, loss, and the strange rules that govern both. But insight comes at a cost. In a place where inventive ideas and difference draw suspicion and truth invites retaliation, they find themselves pulled into a chain of events that turns them into unlikely activists, reluctant fugitives, and targets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDarkly funny, sharp-eyed, and unexpectedly moving, Particles of Light is not a sentimental \"boy and his dog\" story-it's a story about connection, survival, and what happens when someone finally says what everyone else is too afraid to admit.","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":67164027912496,"sku":"BD1z4l","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1z4l-Square-cover.jpg?v=1782756704","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1z4l","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
