In this groundbreaking novel, Coretta Scott King Award winner Rita
Williams-Garcia uses her vividly realistic voice to highlight an
often taboo practice that affects millions of girls around the
world every year, and to explore a perspective not often depicted
in YA fiction. Even though they were born in different countries,
Akilah and Victoria are true best friends. But Victoria has been
acting strange ever since she returned from her summer in Nigeria,
where she had a special coming-of-age ceremony. Why does proud
Victoria, named for a queen, slouch at her desk and answer the
teacher's questions in a whisper? And why won't she laugh with
Akilah anymore? Akilah's name means "intelligent," and she is
determined to find out what's wrong. But when she learns the
terrible secret Victoria is hiding, she suddenly has even more
questions. The only problem is, they might not be the kind that
have answers. Previously available only as an ebook, this
remarkable novel is now back in print!
