Three white high school seniors enter a prestigious scholarship competition. The topic? Critical race theory. One is a true believer, one is doing it for the money, and one is doing it for his secret crush. But as they learn more about the doctrine’s insidious anti-white agenda, their friendship gets tested in unexpected ways. They are not supposed to challenge critical race theory, yet they do. This forces them to make difficult, life-altering decisions which could jeopardize their families, their futures, and their very identity as white Americans.
Praise for Critical Daze:
“Critical Daze is Spencer J. Quinn’s second young-adult novel. Like Quinn’s first young-adult novel, The No College Club, Critical Daze deals with high-school students who begin to question anti-white racism and are forced to grow up fast when the hammer of political correctness comes down upon them. Quinn creates highly realistic characters struggling with lies, intimidation, conformism, and absurd injustice. The story instills such virtues as honesty, courage, loyalty, self-discipline, teamwork, and ingenuity in overcoming obstacles. Although it is billed as “Book 2” of The No College Club, Critical Daze is not a sequel. It has a fresh cast of characters and a story of its own. But Critical Daze is set in the same universe as The No College Club, whose characters show up later in the story to help battle anti-whiteness. I highly recommend Critical Daze. It is a young-adult novel that can be enjoyed by young adults of all ages.”
