Before Father Peter's even finished with the introduction, Purity Paul bursts through the center of the curtains, carrying a mic in his hand and wearing a smile that could only be caused by Jesus or LSD.

I know them

Synopsis: Michael is an atheist. So as he walks through the doors at St. Clare’s—a strict Catholic school—sporting a plaid tie, things can’t get much worse. His dad has just made the family move again, and Michael needs a friend. When a girl challenges their teacher in class, Michael thinks he might have found one, and a fellow nonbeliever at that. Only this girl, Lucy, is not just Catholic . . . she wants to be a priest.

But Lucy introduces Michael to other St. 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. After an incident in theology class, Michael encourages the Heretics to go from secret society to rebels intent on exposing the school’s hypocrisies. 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.

Hi Mar! Can I ask 15, 56, and 90 for the ask game?

Hellooo! 👋

Everything I touch dies. Ahehe 😅 I am actually managing to keep an herb garden barely alive for the first time, though!

Anything with chocolate! Chocolate cheesecake, brownies, dark chocolate covered Oreos, chocolate ice cream, chocolate rum cake, the list could go on! Although I also love pie— blackberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, apple, and pumpkin. Cream puffs and deep fried peach pocket pastries are also delicious!

YOU CANNOT ASK ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY CHILDREN LIKE THIS—

*Ahem* sorry… I think I’ll have to say either The Mysterious Benedict Society series, Heretics Anonymous, Ink In The Blood, Counting By 7s, or The Night Circus. The Diviners series and The Foxhole Court are also amazing,

I finally found this online and I just got it in the mail. I remember reading this novel two years ago and how I fell inlove with this book at first read. One of the reason that I loved this book was because it’s the first young adult novel that I read that dares to talk about religion. And since I also grew up being in a Catholic School I can totally relate to the characters.
