When Shanequa gets the chance to attend a prestigious private prep school, she feels like her dreams might become reality.

3.5 Novel in verse by a spoken word artist. Felt very authentic but not super substantial. Definitely think kids will like it and strongly relate to it. Will booktalk it soon.
