  • Vivian Carter lives in a small Texas town where football is the only thing that matters -- so much so that the high school football players can get away with just about anything, including wearing offensive t-shirts to school, making rude comments in class, and groping girls in the halls.
  • Vivian's mom was a punk rock rebel in the 90's and after looking through some of her old things, Vivian gets inspired to speak up against what's going on at her school by creating and distributing an anonymous newsletter.
  • Will her female classmates stand up with her?  Will she be able to confess to her friends that she made the newsletter?  Will she get expelled?  And what about that cute new boy, Seth Acosta?

This book really speaks to what's going on in our society today about how men treat woman (and boys treat girls) and what is and isn't acceptable.  It's an uplifting read that will have you cheering on the girls of East Rockport High School. 
Grades 8-12
