About
"Arlaina Jefferson is eager to prove herself. Tasked with caring for her cousin's rabbit Obeena, Arlaina knows all that stands between her and the grown-up world of middle school is one year of staying out of trouble and making sure to clean up Obeena's turds. It would be easy--if growing up didn't also mean growing wiser. Having faced thoughtless comments from fellow students, Arlaina is already struggling to explain the hurt she feels to her best friend, Tina. But when her teacher, Mr. Matthews, asks an ignorant question of Nadia's headscarf, Arlaina has the confirmation that she needs: Mr. Matthews is part of a larger problem that plagues Grover School. All those comments that Arlaina--and several other students--once brushed off, suddenly smolder under the light of truth. Some things just can't be fixed by Obeena's warm and fuzzy charms. Bolstered by her father's experience in the Million Man March, Arlaina teams up with no-nonsense Nadia and a host of other Grover School students to right a systemic wrong. After all, proving you're grown doesn't always mean staying out of trouble!"--
