This should be a must read for students. I would normally never say that. It seems a bit preachy to try to dictate what students read, but this book is so chock full of how to start a revolution for the hearts and minds of your fellow students, that I am seriously feeling ticked that I didn't have this book when I was in school.
I don't want to talk about what this story is about or how much I liked the main the character. Instead I would like to focus on the very real anger and frustration she feels at being a girl in a school that regularly devalues females while simultaneously elevating boys of lackluster talents. I felt some real comparisons to Steubenville were in Moxie in the way the entire town was crazy in love with the High School Football team (they shut down the restaurants on the day of a game!?) and yet couldn't spend money on the winning girls soccer team. Arrgh, isn't this so American High School!
