About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is navigating high school social politics or struggling with the pressure to take sides in peer rivalries. It is a modern, comedic reimagining of the Greek play Lysistrata that follows Lissa, a girl who organizes a strike among her peers to end a violent feud between the school's football and soccer teams. The story explores themes of collective action, the complexity of teenage relationships, and the importance of standing up for peace in one's community. While it centers on a strike involving physical intimacy, the focus remains on personal agency and emotional boundaries. It is a lighthearted yet thought-provoking choice for teens ready to discuss gender dynamics and conflict resolution in a relatable high school setting.
