Description
The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney is Book 1 in The Mockingbirds series, a thought-provoking YA contemporary novel set at an elite boarding school where a secret student society takes justice into its own hands.
The prestigious Themis Academy looks perfect from the outside, but beneath its polished reputation lies a darker reality. When Alex Patrick is sexually assaulted by another student, she turns to the mysterious Mockingbirds—a secret society dedicated to holding students accountable when the school’s official systems fail.
