Facing a new school again has him feeling angsty and out of place. He doesn't understand why his Dad works so much and why they are always moving. But belly laughs galore as I am also familiar with UU and the joke there is spot on as well.Īnyhow, getting past religion the bigger theme here is how Michael has been moved around for his entire childhood and pretty much hates it. Joseph and he think Sr stands for Sir not sister. So many inside Catholic jokes- his teacher is Sr. This story about Michael, an atheist, who transfers to a Catholic school had me giggling from page one on. But when Michael takes one mission too far-putting the other Heretics at risk-he must decide whether to fight for his own freedom or rely on faith, whatever that means, in God, his friends, or himself. Michael encourages the Heretics to go from secret society to rebels intent on exposing the school’s hypocrisies one stunt at a time. Clare’s outcasts, and he officially joins Heretics Anonymous, where he can be an atheist, Lucy can be an outspoken feminist, Avi can be Jewish and gay, Max can wear whatever he wants, and Eden can practice paganism. Only this girl, Lucy, isn’t just Catholic. When a girl challenges their teacher in class, Michael thinks he might have found one, and a fellow atheist at that.
His dad has just made the family move again, and Michael needs a friend.
When Michael walks through the doors of Catholic school, things can’t get much worse. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Robyn Schneider. The Breakfast Club meets Saved! in debut author Katie Henry’s hilarious novel about a band of misfits who set out to challenge their school, one nun at a time.
