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. The story follows Michael, a self-proclaimed atheist, who is forced to go to St Clare’s, a strict, traditional Catholic school when his family moves to a new town. As a former Catholic schoolgirl, the premise immediately appealed to me and it definitely did not disappoint. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Robyn Schneider. Heretic’s Anonymous was one of my favorite books of 2018. 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. Put an atheist in a strict Catholic school? Expect comedy, chaos, and an Inquisition. A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year!
