This book is not what I expected at all and that was a good thing. The basic theme of the book is racism and how we cannot be silent about it since traces of it still haunt our streets. After reading this book I was motivated to do something - to fight for anything I believe in. If you need motivation or a wake up call this book is it.

I think all teenagers should read this powerful book about one priviledged teen's fight to stop racism in a modern-day town where no one will even admit that racism still exists.
