by Susan Phelan (Author), Krystal Kramer
Like the strong, relatable middle grade voice found in The Unteachables and Restart, this story cuts to the heart of choices and consequences, neurodiversity, and creativity.
Blythe has always excelled in school, but now that she's in 7th grade she's struggling, and she can't join clubs unless her grades are high enough. Her dad expects her to join Math Club, even though her secret passion is photography. The way things are going, she won't get to do either one. But her parents can't know that.
When Bly teams up with her nemesis Cherie to cheat her way to good grades, she doesn't expect to keep failing anyway. And the more she cheats, the worse she feels. She's trapped. Confessing the truth about her grades and cheating might cost her the love of her family, her friends, and her chance at the photography contest she's dreaming of winning. But the cost of continuing her lies could be even worse. How can she get her life to come into clear focus like one of her developing pictures?
