“Silence does not equal consent…the only thing that means yes, is yes,” so learns Alex, a junior at a prestigious boarding school. When she wakes up in bed with a strange boy, after a drunken night she can barely remember, she has a hard time putting the pieces together. As disjointed memories of the night before begin to surface she realizes she’s a victim of date rape. Instead of going to the police or the school administration, Alex seeks justice through the Mockingbirds, an underground justice system inspired by Harper Lee’s novel. But will it be enough to help her feel normal again? (Grades 8 & up)
