About this ebook

Dante thinks high school is an earthly version of hell. She hates her new home in the suburbs, her best friend has moved away, her homeroom teacher mocks her and her mother is making her attend a social skills group for teenage girls. When a stranger shows up at school and hands Dante a flyer that reads: Woof, woof. You are not a dog. Why are you going to obedience school?, Dante thinks she's found a soul mate. Someone who understands. Someone else who wants to make real changes in the world. But there are all kinds of ways of bringing about change...and some are more dangerous than others.

I first read this book in 8th grade, when I was just starting to develop my own half-informed opinions on the world around me, and long before I realized that I was a lesbian. This was the first book I read that really captured what it was like to be a teenager trying to form her own opinions and figure out her sexuality. It also introduced me to the dangerous, power-hungry people who can hide in extremist groups and make their violence look justified, even noble. It introduced me to a thought: What happens when those who question authority try to become an authority in your life? Aside from all that, it's simply beautifully written. It doesn't caricaturize its antagonists. It's real. It's honest. I still reread it all the time.
