It’s 1969. Sis teams with James, the only Black kid in class, to expose their racist principal. They risk expulsion, reputation, disappointing family and legal troubles to stop him from becoming principal of the town’s new integrated high school. #MoodPitch #YA #IRMC #COA

@aguamd20 @drkatielockwood @POTUS @Surgeon_General So sorry. Well said. Teachers have felt unsupported for a long time, too.

@AuthorSAMacLean @JJBker @BLM_Agency Congratulations!

@AuthorSAMacLean It's 1969. Sis sneaks into school after hours for fun, but it becomes a mission when she learns her principal is racist. She teams with the only Black kid in class, and together they risk friendships, reputation and legal trouble to expose the principal before school integration.
