            critical acclaim:

            _"Outspoken Evie, with a voice so endearing and provocative that it will make readers pause often to think, quickly discovers in this witty debut that high school is full of biased rules, abuses of power and a lack of civil liberties.... Readers will never look at high school - or life - the same.”  ―Kirkus Reviews


            "Johnson's fun, activist-minded debut has ... a strong yet vulnerable heroine whose intellectual bent and sense of self will remind readers that, as historian Laurel Thatcher Urlich said, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history.'” ―Booklist


            "Offering a thorough examination of the pitfalls of protest and revolution in terms teens will understand, this smart first novel will likely spark discussions about authority abuse and crossing boundaries." ―Publisher’s Weekly
