Lucy Moon is the kind of girl

... who champions animal rights -- during hunting season. She wears a woven hemp hat in support of third-world workers. She is the kind of girl who spots injustice and isn't afraid to fight it. 

But things are different in junior high. The qualities that used to make Lucy distinctive now just mark her as uncool. It seems as though everyone has been brainwashed -- except for Lucy, who has activism in her DNA. 

When her latest cause lands with a harsh detention sentence, a "bad influence" reputation, and a vandalized locker, Lucy begins to lose her verve. Can she stand up for her beliefs and survive junior high?
