The Mockingbirds is an amazing story of finding life after a horrible act. Alex, a junior at Themis Academy is date-raped, and the story is about what happens after. A secret group at the school, called the Mockingbirds helps her: a group that fights for justice, something that the “perfect” school refuses to do. With references to To Kill a Mockingbird, and good writing, The Mockingbirds is not your typical High School Story. It’s so much more: so much deeper, so much more realistic. If you like Speak, or other books like that, you will love The Mockingbirds.
To go into more depth, one could say that The Mockingbirds is pure inspiration to anyone who has gone through a troubled time in his or her life. Even if one was not raped, he or she could have experienced all sorts of things that he or she felt unsure and confused about. They might have felt as though whatever happened was their fault, even if it was not at all.
I did receive this book as an ARC, but it is now out in stores! (I ought to get on my plan to review more often...)
You should go and purchase it! It is a wonderful story, with a beautiful and hopeful message.
