Seanan Palmero Waugh reveals a wide world in ten minutes. Set in a summer camp’s kitchen walk-in refrigerator, “Crock Of” plumbs veins of privilege, class, and gender. Pranks are played, tables turned, and hearts broken as Lily and Kat explore social power in a bland conversation about working the salad bar. With authentically rendered teen voices and emotional candor, “Crock Of” exposes the hollow values at the core of youthful angst. Strongly recommended for high school and college audiences.
