Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu

Self-Paced Teen Book Club


Tired of the rampant sexism in her high school and inspired by a box of her mom's Riot Grrrl-era zines, Vivian is ready to do something about it!


This book offers frank discussions of rebellion, inclusion, and what it means to make a difference in the world — even if it comes with risks.

How does a self-paced book club work?


A self-paced book club is a great option for digging deeper into a text and doing some activities to help with your understanding and analysis of the text and its themes.

Included in this class, you'll find the following:

  • A suggested reading schedule (broken into four weeks)
  • A PDF reading guide with comprehension questions for each week
  • Vocabulary activities
  • Writing/multimodal project prompts related to the reading
  • Rubrics for parents/guardians to give feedback on projects
  • Links to supplemental resources related to the text and its themes

The class was designed to take about a month to complete, but you can complete it at whatever pace works for you!
