«Im Schatten der Wächter» is the young adult novel by Graham Gardner, published by cbt in paperback (224 pages, in German).
Elliot, aged fourteen, has suffered bullying at school and decides to reinvent himself when changing schools. His cold facade attracts the Guardians, a group that terrorizes the weaker students, and they offer him membership. To be one of them, he must humiliate other pupils. The novel explores abuse of power, school violence, and loss of innocence.
This German title comes from the novel «Inventing Elliot» (2003) and was awarded the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2005, prize of the youth jury.
Suitable reading for young audiences and for classroom work, due to its focus on group pressure.
