It' s senior year. And Margot' s on a mission to be a better Margot. Which means saying goodbye to her old cleanup ways- and their inherent moral ambiguities- and saying hello to. . . more yoga maybe? (Probably not, Margot hates exercise. ) To fill her time and round out her college application, Margot volunteers for Shep Green' s state senate campaign and in a twist, finds she actually enjoys being part of a team. She loves her new boss/mentor Priya. And of course it doesn' t hurt that the candidate is Avery Green' s dad. Yes, Avery and Margot are just friends, but it' s still nice to see his too perfect face from time to time. Meanwhile at Roosevelt High, Margot finds herself roped into a second election, this one for school president. Melanie Jenkins is running against one of the monsters who created the revenge porn site Margot took down last year. Needless to say, Margot is #teamMelanie. With Margot rocking both campaigns and maybe even making friends, it seems like she' s well on her way to being a better person. But when Priya asks her to look into an anonymous email threatening Shep Green, one that could potentially torpedo his entire election, Margot finds herself slipping back into her old habits. She' s tried to keep her hands clean. But politics is a dirty job.

#01: Margot Mertz Takes it Down
#02: Margot Mertz For The Win!

Praise for book one in the series, Margot Mertz Takes it Down: ' The ultimate horror story for Extremely Online People. In their engrossing debut, Carrie McCrossen and Ian McWethy have crafted a twisty-turny narrative that had me laughing one minute and screaming the next. Margot Mertz is the hero we all need!' - Adam Sass, award-winning author of Surrender Your Sons ' A laugh-out-loud, heartfelt mystery starring a hilarious, spiky, and loveable heroine. Margot takes on the two most gut-churning institutions: patriarchy and high school. What can I say? Margot Mertz Takes My Heart!' - Ash Parsons, author of You' re So Dead ' A thoughtful, funny, righteously angry take on a serious subject. ' - Kirkus Reviews ' McCrossen and McWethy don' t pull punches (the victims' distress, and the fact that no-one thinks the school administration will intervene, are realistically rendered), while making Margot a sympathetic, fury-propelled narrator with a winningly noir-inflected voice. ' - Publishers Weekly ' In their debut novel, McCrossen and McWethy have tackled a pertinent and sensitive topic and buoyed it with the hilarious awkwardness characterising the teenage years. . . The witty first-person perspective and Margot' s self-assurance will have readers breezing through the story. ' - Booklist ' Margot' s righteous fury will resonate with many readers, who will cheer her efforts to protect victims, gain justice, and enact revenge, and it' s during her undercover capers that the novel is at its best . . . a realistic alternative to recent angry-girl revenge-fantasy novels. ' - BCCB
