Some schools have honour codes.
Others have handbooks.
Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds.
Themis Academy is a quiet boarding school where the students are exceptional, the faculty trust that everyone does the right thing, and the administration sees only what it wants to see – perfection.
So when Alex spends a drunken-night with a male student and awakes to evidence of a sexual encounter she can’t remember, she doesn’t know where to turn for help. As she slowly comes to terms with the fact that she was date raped, she enlists the help of the Mockingbirds – a secret society of her peers whose mission is to right the wrongs that the faculty and administration don’t even know exist.
In standing up to her attacker, Alex discovers a strength she never knew she had and begins to understand that if you love something or someone – especially yourself – it’s worth fighting for.
