What is this book about?
A ripped-from-the-headlines middle-grade novel about a group of students who must fight book banning at their school to save their club and change the world… one book at a time.
Molly’s been putting her life back together piece by piece since her brother died two years ago. With weeks until eighth grade graduation and facing new problems at home, Molly has never needed Ms. Lewiston’s book club more.
But then someone anonymously complains about the book club and the books they’re reading. Ms. Lewiston is put on leave, the books are removed from her classroom, and book club is suspended . . . indefinitely.
Together with her friends, Molly tries to fight back. But through school walkouts, serious sleuthing, and even some plastic flamingos, Molly finds that battling injustice is only the beginning. The real challenge is confronting the truth, no matter how unwelcome. Is she brave enough to face the answers she uncovers, even when they’re not the ones she’s looking for?
