The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy by Kate Hattemer

*The following review is a completely honest reflection on this story.*

Starting out I should say that this book lives up to every single positive review it has gotten. The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy is a hilariously genius book about a group a teens going through the pains of being a teen, oh, and that there’s a reality TV show being shot at their school.

Summary:

Before getting stuck in a locker Ethan, his friends, school, and classmates are introduced to the new reality: a reality TV show is being shot at their school. Things go down the crapper from there, a pet hamster gets a lump, the Contracantos is started, and friends are truly douches. Some good things will come out of it but only after they risk life and limb to save their school from the grasps of corruption the show has brought.

Opinion:

Okay this book was hilarious, and that includes the best confusing typo in the world; ‘Believe you me, I know.’ (220) I should mention that that happens in one of the most serious parts of the book and it cracks me up!

This masterpiece by Kate Hattemer retains an authenticity that applies to everyone in some way or another. Things don’t always go the way it was planned and you don’t always end up with the popular girl. That’s life, not this perfected contemporary outlines we have in most of our stories because face it, shit happens. To that I congratulate the author, that took nerve to go against the status quo of most stories in this genre.

Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5.
