description:  Some schools have honor codes.Others have handbooks.Themis Academy has the Mockingbirds.From the glossy pages of its admissions brochure the prestigious Themis Academy appears perfect in every way: exceptional academics extraordinary students the kind of extracurriculars to make an Ivy League proud and zero instances of student misbehavior. But this boarding school isn't as pristine as it appears. There's a dark underbelly to the perfect record the Themis administration flaunts. Student infractions are rampant and it's up to a secret vigilante society the Mockingbirds to maintain order on campus--a responsibility their members take very seriously. Alex Patrick never thought she would need the Mockingbirds. But when she's date-raped by another student she doesn't know where else to go. As much as she'd like to forget what happened she can't escape the daily reminders of what went wrong that terrible night. Before she can summon the courage to take a stand she'll have to accept that her battle for justice is not hers alone. Standing up for someone especially yourself is worth the fight.
