The Chaperone

"""Hendrix's dystopian society is somewhat of a Handmaid's Tale for YA and offers a dark world with a glimmer of hope."" --Booklist, STARRED review ""Hendrix's storytelling is first rate: characters develop believably, and the action builds dramatically to a satisfying conclusion. A strong, rewarding contemporary vision of oppression."" -- Shelf Awareness ""The Chaperone is a twisting, page-turning vision of a terrifying future, a laser-sharp commentary on current events and the true meaning of the word 'freedom.'"" -- Sharon Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Light in Hidden Places ""The Chaperone is a brilliantly conceived, provocative, and finely crafted YA novel written by M Hendrix. It just might be one of the year's best books written in this genre and one quite likely to be banned in Florida...Without hyperbole, M Hendrix may be the Judy Blume, or S.E. Hinton for the 21st-century."" -- BookTrib ""This thrilling and evenly paced, dialogue-driven tale by Hendrix deftly explores issues of women's rights, class privilege, and oppression"" -- Publishers Weekly ""M Hendrix does a good job of creating a world that feels very possible and scary in the current social climate of the United States."" -- Youth Services Book Review ""A very well-written book. The characters are vivid, and the plot develops naturally."" -- School Library Connection"
