Until now, the most important thing in 14-year-old Cornelia Drake's life was maintaining her rightful place just outside the most popular clique at Storm River High School. But when she is sentenced to community service for writing a racial slur against a Muslim teacher, Mrs. Hakim, Cornelia's world comes crashing down.
