199 p.
Summary: In an America that has suffered continual terrorist attacks since 9/11, seventh-grader Sky stands up for what is right and helps a classmate of Middle Eastern descent, although doing so places her and her family at great risk.
This was insightful and the protagonist was well-developed. Felt a little preachy & the writing wasn't distinguished. I think young people would enjoy reading it but don't feel it's Newbery-worthy.
