| | Synopsis
|
"Twelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to
do is to follow the rules. (Oh, and she'd also like to make it
through seventh grade with her best friendships intact, learn to run
track, and have a cute boy see past her giant forehead.) But in
junior high, it's like all the rules have changed. Now she's suddenly
questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are
saying she's not black enough. Wait, what? Shay's sister, Hana, is
involved in Black Lives Matter, but Shay doesn't think that's for
her. After experiencing a powerful protest, though, Shay decides some
rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in
support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides.
And she is given an ultimatum. Shay is scared to do the wrong thing
(and even more scared to do the right thing), but if she doesn't face
her fear, she'll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that's
trouble, for real."—Provided by publisher.
