If you found the escalation of conformity and the dangers of groupthink in The Wave both gripping and unsettling, you'll be drawn into Lord of the Flies. Golding's novel plummets a group of boys into a situation where social dynamics and the will of the majority spiral out of control, forcing you to confront the fragility of morality in a group setting.

You appreciated how The Wave used a classroom experiment to comment on the real-world dangers of totalitarian movements. In Animal Farm, Orwell crafts a powerful allegory of revolution gone wrong, using the animals' descent into tyranny to echo the very lessons about power and manipulation explored in Strasser's novel.

Much like how The Wave reveals the impact of a social experiment through various students and teachers, Nothing But the Truth unravels a school controversy from a chorus of voices—letters, diary entries, and reports—showing how truth is shaped by perspective and bias.

If you were fascinated by how The Wave illustrated the allure and danger of a group losing its individual conscience to the will of a charismatic leader, Nineteen Eighty-Four will grip you with its haunting vision of a society where conformity is enforced and independence is crushed.

You watched characters in The Wave struggle to find their voices and stand up to overwhelming social currents. Speak follows Melinda as she faces her own battle against silence and alienation, powerfully capturing the journey toward self-expression and courage.
