Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu ( Lincoln 22)

 

While I was on my Abe Lincoln kick I picked up Moxie. I really enjoyed this read and quickly learned there was a movie adaptation and had to watch that ASAP. Amy Poehler starred and produced in the film. GIRL POWER

Amazon Summary

MOXIE GIRLS FIGHT BACK!

Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with an administration at her high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. Fed up with sexist dress codes, hallway harassment, and gross comments from guys during class. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules.

Viv's mom was a tough-as-nails, punk rock Riot Grrrl in the '90s, and now Viv takes a page from her mother's past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She's just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. As Viv forges friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.

Moxie is a book about high school life that will make you wanna riot!
