Booklist - 05/01/2025 Maeve is a typical eighth-grader who is going through growing pains while trying to adjust to a big move and a new school. What makes this more difficult is her new school isn't quite as friendly or welcoming as it should be, and when she tries to report or stand up to bullies mocking her chubbiness and love of comics, nothing works out in her favor at home or at school. Enter the sassy crew of super agitators who come together to follow in the footsteps of generations of activists and make some noise. Thanks to the patience and support from her squad, Maeve finds a pathway to use her talents for good. This book tackles themes such as bullying and sexual harassment and demonstrates common narratives and circumstances that keep kids from speaking out, all in Maeve's point of view and framed by her experiences. It also gives tween readers some actionable pathways to activism themselves, emphasizing the importance of doing the most good you can, right where you are. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
