Publisher Description
“An empowering and timely story about resistance.” —Booklist
Princess Academy meets Megan Whalen Turner in this stunning novel about a girl who won’t let anything tame her spirit—not the government that conquered her people, and definitely not reform school!
Malley has led the constables on a merry chase across her once-peaceful country. With her parents in prison for their part in a failed resistance movement, the government wants to send her to a national school—but they’ll have to capture her first.
And capture her they do. Malley is carted off to be reformed as a proper subject of the conquering empire, reeducated, and made suitable for domestic service. That’s the government’s plan, anyway.
But Malley will not go down without a fight. She’s determined to rally her fellow students to form a rebellion of their own. The government can lock these girls up in reform school. Whether it can break them is another matter entirely…

“Great book, strong reading for a Juvenile reading, but in all amazing to recognizing patriotism unite in little girl's point of view. It shows how to stand up against a belief, with courage from a young child's point of view. This is a great quick read for someone who is interested in activism.”
