About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the permanence of their digital footprint or the anxiety of a secret past. It is an essential read for teens navigating the 'call-out' culture of social media and the pressure to be perfect in an era of public shaming. Jordyn is a talented artist at a new school who finds herself at the center of a social justice movement after an anonymous podcast begins leaking students' private information. Through her mural-making, she explores themes of accountability, the difference between making a mistake and being a 'bad' person, and the courage required to own one's narrative. It is developmentally appropriate for ages 12 and up, offering a sophisticated look at how creativity can be a tool for both personal healing and social change. Parents will appreciate the book's nuanced take on accountability versus harassment and its realistic depiction of modern high school friendships.
