Activist

von Louisa Reid

Format:Softcover

When a heartbreaking testimony appears on an anonymous website, it's easier for Cassie's prestigious school to dismiss the accusations than to face the truth: that this is a place where the students aren't safe. As more survivors speak out, Cassie and her friends realise that they must take the situation into their own hands if they want anything to change, no matter the consequences.Cassie goes to a prestigious academic school where girls have only just been admitted after decades of it being single-sex. When a female student from the school anonymously posts about the sexual abuse she has suffered and the school does not act properly, Cassie knows that she needs to take matters into her own hands. She and her friends prepare for battle - with a strike, an assembly, as well as outside school spending their weekends protesting to save the woodland from development. But will her activism only make things worse, or will she succeed in righting the wrongs that so many choose to ignore? And could there be a more personal reason for her behaviour?A powerful, timely verse novel about the need to act and stand up for what's right.Shortlisted for NE Teen Book AwardLonglisted for ABA award

Ich fand den Style in dem das Buch geschrieben ist sehr interessant zu lesen. Trotz der kurzen und abgehakten Sätzen, habe ich sehr mitgefühlt.
