Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
Self-Paced Teen Book Club
Tired of the rampant sexism in her high school and inspired by a box of her mom's Riot Grrrl-era zines, Vivian is ready to do something about it!
This book offers frank discussions of rebellion, inclusion, and what it means to make a difference in the world — even if it comes with risks.
