Ebook description

Agnes Jackson goes from one numbed-down class to the next. She naively feeds her school’s anti-intellectual mood by hosting book burning party, which, by junior year is a dark spectacle. Agnes comes to an act of civil disobedience that destroys the heart of her school and puts her on the run. Based on the novel "The Attic Notebooks".
