![]() Despite growing up in East Rockport, Texas, Vivian does not worship the football team or ignore when the boys at her school are offensive to girls. In fact, she is sick of being told, "Make me a sandwich," and she does not like the Bump'n'Grab game the boys play in the hallways. So she makes a zine and distributes a few in the girls' bathrooms to see if she is not alone. It turns out, she is not the only girl at East Rockport High who does not like the sexist culture, and she is not the only one who wants to do something about it. A student pitched this book to my English 10 class this fall and it sounded interesting but it did not get picked for a group. Then I saw it at the book store and figured it would be okay to get a copy for my classroom library. Reading this book was energizing. Mathieu addresses high school feminism in a very real way and her inclusion of Riot Grrrl was dreamy.
