Summary: In Rye, Virginia, a school assignment ignites a fierce debate over a potentially racist mascot. Six diverse middle schoolers find themselves at the heart of the controversy, each grappling with their beliefs and the community's divided stance. As tensions rise, they must navigate identity, tradition, and the courage to advocate for change. Will they unite to challenge the status quo, or will the conflict tear them apart? This novel in verse explores the power of young voices in the fight for justice, inspiring readers to question and engage with the world around them.
