Description
Drew Ellis faces a familiar challenge: working twice as hard to be just as good. His grandmother's words have echoed in his life since childhood. But what if that effort isn't enough? As an eighth-grader at Riverdale Academy Day School, Drew struggles with the disparities between his own experiences and those of his privileged classmates. Drew's friendship with Liam is complicated by their differing backgrounds. He wants to maintain their bond but feels like he's losing himself in the process. With the pressures mounting, Drew must find a way to bridge the divide between him and his friends, including Jordan, who doesn't know how to keep the group together. In this powerful story, Jerry Craft explores themes of identity, acceptance, and the importance of self-love.
