Moxie starts with a girl named Vivian Carter who is fed up. Her school has a sexist dress code, a football team that gets all the advantages, and gross comments from guys in class that get overlooked. What she is most fed up with is following the rules. She gets inspiration from her mother who was a Riot Grrl in the 1990s and decides to take a page out of her mother’s book and starts a feminist zine that she gives to her classmates anonymously. Vivian does it to air her grievances, but the zine inspires other girls at the school. Soon, she is making friends across the cliques and starting a girl revolution.

Mathieu is also the author of Bad Girls Never Say Die which is a gender-flipped version of The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Eva Barnes is a bad girl in 1964 Houston. Her and her friends wear bold makeup and run around with the boys. The girls always protect their own, but every rule she lives by is about to be called into question when she is saved by a good girl from the “right” side of the tracks. Eva will have to rethink what it really means to be a bad girl and change her thinking about loyalty.
