Authentic and illuminating, this strong debut explores vital teen topics of sex and violence; crime and punishment; ineffectual authority; and the immeasurable, healing influence of friendship and love. The novel is never preachy, nor does it stray into feminist manifesto, but it does lend a voice to those who often have difficulty finding their own.

The Mockingbirds is a book about justice, and of finding yourself again after a personal tragedy. After being date-raped, Alex turns to The Mockingbirds, Themis Academy's underground judicial court run by the students without any knowledge of the administration. I admit that when I first heard the premise, it sounded a little hokey. But Whitney really made the plot work. Her characters were very believable and real. Her Mockingbirds was incredibly thought out, and after reading the afterword, I found the story that much deeper and richer because it was Whitney's story, and personal. ( )
