The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney
Published by Little Brown Books on 2nd November
Some schools have honor codes. Others have handbooks. Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds. Themis Academy is a quiet boarding school with an exceptional student body that the administration trusts to always behave the honorable way--the Themis Way. So when Alex is date raped during her junior year, she has two options: stay silent and hope someone helps her, or enlist the Mockingbirds--a secret society of students dedicated to righting the wrongs of their fellow peers. In this honest, page-turning account of a teen girl's struggle to stand up for herself, debut author Daisy Whitney reminds readers that if you love something or someone--especially yourself--you fight for it.
I can't wait for this book - it sounds awesome. I love a good boarding school story and a good debut novel. Hopefully this sound tick all those boxes for me.

Here's my WOW this week
The author was actually date raped herself, so I imagine much was based on her own experience. Definitely a book for girls to read...and become aware of the dangers that lurk! Good choice.
