PICK New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson ramps up
the horror and tackles America's history and legacy of racism in
this suspenseful YA novel following a biracial teenager as her
Georgia high school hosts its first integrated prom. When
Springville residents-at least the ones still alive-are questioned
about what happened on prom night, they all have the same
explanation . . . Maddy did it. An outcast at her small-town
Georgia high school, Madison Washington has always been a teasing
target for bullies. And she's dealt with it because she has more
pressing problems to manage. Until the morning a surprise rainstorm

been passing for white her entire life at the behest of her
fanatical white father, Thomas Washington. After a viral bullying
video pulls back the curtain on Springville High's racist roots,
student leaders come up with a plan to change their image: host the
school's first integrated prom as a show of unity. The popular
white class president convinces her Black superstar quarterback
boyfriend to ask Maddy to be his date, leaving Maddy wondering if
it's possible to have a normal life. But some of her classmates
aren't done with her just yet. And what they don't know is that
Maddy still has another secret . . . one that will cost them all
their lives.

finally got back on his bike. But now, he cant help but hold back a
bit on his tricks, and his scores are starting to suffer. To add
insult to injury, Billy's best friend, Penny, has been acting
strange since the accident . . .
