Publisher Description:

Now a Netflix Original Film directed by Amy Poehler

Moxie is sweet, funny, and fierce. Read this and then join the fight.--Amy Poehler

An unlikely teenager starts a feminist revolution at a small-town Texas high school in this novel from Jennifer Mathieu, author of The Truth About Alice.

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

Also by Jennifer Mathieu:
The Truth About Alice: A powerful look at slut-shaming, told through the perspectives of four small-town teens, about how everyone has a motive to bring--and keep--a teen girl down.
Devoted: A girl with a controlling, conservative family realizes that her life is her own--if only she can find the courage to fight for it.
Afterward:
A tragic kidnapping leads to an unlikely friendship in this novel about finding light in the midst of darkness.

Praise for Moxie:

"With a story that's equal parts heart and instruction manual, Mathieu has captured the movement of a generation--warts and all--and shone a light forward for the next one." --E. K. Johnston, #1 New York TimesBestselling author of Exit Pursued By a Bear

"Vivian Carter and Moxie are strong and smart and so, so inspiring. She is my new hero and this is my new favorite book. I'm proud to be a Moxie girl." --Jennifer Niven, New York Times-bestselling author of All the Bright Places and Holding Up the Universe

"From its soul-deep girl friendships to its swoony love story to its smart, gutsy heroine, Moxie is a ferocious joy. I could feel my heart--and my courage--getting bigger every time I turned the page. --Katie Cotugno, New York Times-bestselling author of 99 Days and How to Love

Moxie is an anthem, a how-to guide, and that best friend who says, 'You matter, too '" --Sherri L. Smith, author of Pasadena and Flygirl

"Like the addictive riff of a punk rock song, Moxie will pull you in, inspire you, and kick you back out into the world with a burning desire to change it. Read this. Now." --Jenny Torres Sanchez, author of Because of the Sun

An invaluable revelation. --Booklist, starred review

This novel is full of wit, insight, and moxie. . . . Highly recommended for all teens, but especially those who would enjoy realistic coming-of-age fiction with female empowerment. --School Library Journal, starred review

Satisfying and moving. --Publishers Weekly
