Activist
Activist
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?

What do we think?
I really liked Activist. I feel like it covers young people’s mental health and views perceptively. I also loved the front cover. It pulled me in and made me want to carry on reading.
My favourite book was Activist as it gave a voice for girls or women who are afraid to speak up. Not only does it tackle issues with Women’s rights it deals with climate change which is another important topic. “Together we can do better, be more”
