MOXIE GIRLS FIGHT BACK!

Vivian Carter’s mom was a Riot Grrrl in the 1990s, but now she and Viv live a pretty quiet life in a small Texas town. When Viv witnesses a series of sexist incidents at her high school, she takes a page from her mom’s past and makes a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. Viv is just blowing off steam, but before she knows it, she’s started a revolution.

The latest novel from Jennifer Mathieu offers everything fans love about her writing—a relatable protagonist with a distinct voice, a conflict relevant to current events, and ultimately a story that is both heartbreaking and hopeful.
