This disturbing and extraordinary book follows the experiences of Alex, a teenager at the elite Themis Academy. The private school is known for its modern approach to education in which teachers and students are essentially equals.But when Alex is date-raped by another student, nobody will help her. The incident is brushed under the carpet. Desperate, she turns to The Mockingbirds, a secret society of students who act as a sort of vigilante group, providing the discipline and justice the adults at the school fail to offer. Shocking and eye-opening, this book is hard to put down.
