Our Hip Scouts review The Mockingbirds!
Wow. Double wow. This book has it all. Emotion. Great characters and a very believable story. Alex shows us how terrible it is to be a victim of date-rape. But she's not really a victim when she asks for help from The Mockingbirds, a secret society that helps students.I loved the story. Especially how Alex deals with not only not being a victim but how she deals with what comes with challenging her abuser and others on campus. I totally will be telling others about this book.
