"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
