"When Scott's gay best friend commits suicide, Scott, who knows the boy was bullied to death, decides to form a gay-straight alliance 'to make sure this didn't happen to anybody else at school.' In the meantime, Carmen, who is an out and proud lesbian, receives a death threat and decides, in turn, that she will start a GSA. In short order, the two form an alliance working together toward their goal. But it won't be easy. Carmen continues to receive threats, and Scott, who is straight, finds his reputation on the line. Worst of all, theirs is a conservative school and community. Will the two be able to overcome bigotry? Told from their first-person, alternating points of view, The Alliance is a smoothly written, accessible story of two brave and sympathetic teens who struggle to overcome odds. This volume in the Surviving Southside series is an excellent title for reluctant readers and is sure to spark discussion in GSA groups and in the classroom." --Booklist Online
--Website"After Jamie Ballard commits suicide, senior Scott King decides to try starting a Gay-Straight Alliance at his high school, in memory of his friend. Unfortunately, his past reputation as a bully catches up with him, and his former victims, as well as his homophobic football teammates, make it difficult for him to get the requisite petition signed by the student body. Meanwhile, Carmen Mendoza, who is out and proud, starts to receive threatening notes in her locker and on social media. Although she is the daughter of two supportive lawyers, she has a reputation as a troublemaker because of how she dresses and behaves in school. When she wants to form an alliance, she is rejected by administrators, who say that she cannot handle the additional responsibility. With the nudge of a caring teacher, Scott and Carmen reluctantly team up to start a GSA and confront the bully who was going after Carmen. As seen too often in real-life situations, conservative parents get to the school board, and the project is put on hold. Reluctant readers of this timely and realistic novel, told in alternating chapters, will cheer on Scott and Carmen and may even be inspired to take action at their own schools to form a GSA." --School Library Journal
