Now, famine and war rage across the land. People are no longer allowed to read or create art. They are forbidden to believe in the existence of love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike every other girl, Jess has been taken from her home to live in a government dormitory, where they are forced to pollinate crops by hand with brushes. But unlike the others, Jess knows how to read and paint--and she knows that brushes aren't meant for pollinating. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJess is her mother's daughter, with a strong streak of rebellion that even the harshest punishment can't stamp out. She knows there is something horribly wrong with this system built on the hard labor of young girls, a system that forces them to marry and have children as soon as they are able. With smuggled paints and brush in hand, can Jess inspire a revolution?","brand":"Atheneum Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50204705522021,"sku":"9781665977517","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/0538\/5573\/files\/imageloader_3c861130-09bb-4dd9-9024-18d925bfcf07.jpg?v=1774032344","url":"https:\/\/paralleluniversebooks.com\/products\/the-danger-of-small-things","provider":"Parallel Universe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
