When Calla finds out her favorite teacher has been accused of inappropriate conduct, she decides to take action in this powerful story about growing up and speaking up, about listening to others and learning to listen to yourself.

What if the truth really is as powerful as it feels?

Calla has always had smart-girl energy. Shes Josiah the track stars practical younger sister. Charlee and Jacobys problem-solving best friend. Attorney Dionne Howards model daughter. So its nice when someone seems to see her for her, outside of all that. But what if that person is a grown-up who maybe isnt as trustworthy as Calla thought? Callas mom likes to say Always do what you know is right. But what if you dont know what the right thing is?

These are the questions Calla faces on the last day of seventh grade, when she finds out that her favorite teacher has been accused of inappropriate conduct at his old school. Calla doesnt know what really happened. She does know that people are saying mean things about the girls who have spoken outand that cant be right . . . can it? Inspired by her favorite newsblogger, EboniNews (whose motto is Amplify. Connect. Truth. ACT.), Calla has an idea. Can she find a way to ACT?
