About this book
Set in ancient Athens, the biography traces the life of Socrates, the philosopher whose persistent questioning of people's beliefs set him apart from his contemporaries. The story recounts his development of the Socratic method, his relationships with students, and the growing tension that culminated in his dramatic trial and execution. Aimed at middle-grade readers, the narrative blends historical detail with vivid storytelling to bring the intellectual world of classical Greece to life. Through his journey, the book explores how a single voice demanding truth can challenge an entire city.
