The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is a story about date rape and how a school’s secret society deals with the wrongs that befall individual students.



Alex has been date raped while under the influence of alcohol

All of her confused and ambivalent reactions to what's happened to her are explored. She moves from believing it's her fault and being ashamed of it, to being confused and shy, to being furious and wanting revenge and sometimes all the feelings occur at the same time. What happened that night is reveled slowly as the case against her attacker is gathered.



But should a group of students be the ultimate justice system? What about the police? It this system fair?
