🔥 Challenged for being “too outspoken” — but it’s that voice that makes it powerful.

Jade is a scholarship student in a mostly white private school — and she’s tired of being seen as someone who needs saving. This award-winning novel dives into race, class, art, and the power of young Black women to define themselves.

Why it was challenged: For tackling privilege, racism, and inequity in schools head-on.

Recommended for: High schoolers, educators, and readers seeking identity-affirming fiction.
