When being yourself isn't good enough, who should you be? Told in
dual perspectives, this provocative and timely novel for
middle-school readers by Paula Chase, the acclaimed author of So
Done and Dough Boys, will resonate with fans of Jason Reynolds,
Rebecca Stead, and Renee Watson. Best friends Rasheeda and Monique
are both good girls. For Sheeda, that means keeping her friends
close and following her deeply religious and strict aunt's every
rule. For Mo, that means not making waves in the prestigious and
mostly White ballet intensive she's been accepted to. But what
happens when Sheeda catches the eye of Mo's older brother, and the
invisible racial barriers to Mo's success as a ballerina turn out
to be not so invisible? What happens when you discover that being
yourself isn't good enough? How do you fight back? Paula Chase
explores the complex and emotional issues that affect many young
teens in this novel set in the same neighborhood as her acclaimed
So Done and Dough Boys. Friendship, family, finding yourself, and
standing your ground are the themes of this universal story that is
perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds, Rebecca Stead, and Renee
Watson.
