Book Review -Heretics Anonymous

📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
by Katie Henry
            Michael is a non-believer who isn’t happy about being sent to a Catholic school upon his family’s recent move. He can’t imagine who of his religious peers will want to be friends with an Atheist, but then he meets the members of Heretics Anonymous. While Lucy is a true believer, she is also a feminist. There is also Avi who is both Jewish and gay, Max who is eccentric and likes to wear his cloak and Eden who would rather practice paganism. What starts off as them being a soundboard for each other, leads to acts of rebellion against the school and its rules. While their acts start small, they grow bigger and more complicated landing Michael in some hot water with his new friends.
            A terrific story about teens who come together despite their differences and tackle what they all believe in. Each member of Heretics Anonymous is wonderful and readers will likely have a favorite or two. This is definitely worth a read (or listen as Michael Crouch does a terrific job on the audio narration) no matter what your religious beliefs.
