Description:

Between his father’s pessimistic attitude and his mother’s “put on a happy face” attitude, Jaris Spain feels trapped. Jaris hides his darkness from his own parents: how hard he has to work for good grades, how a teacher’s pen stroke sends him slipping, how he tries out for every sport at Tubman and fails. And then there is Sereeta’s scorn.
