In this sequel to The Mockingbirds, eighteen-year-old Alex returns to Themis Academy to lead the Mockingbirds, the underground student justice system that prosecuted her date-rape case. A cheating-ring case pits Alex against friends and tests her leadership skills while sending the Mockingbirds on a hunt for conflicting facts. Despite some preachiness, Whitney addresses relevant subjects with honesty and her characters are believable.
