- Summary:
- Twelve-year-old Lotus Blossom, normally a peace-loving free spirit, must summon the courage to fight against a racist dress code and stand up for herself.
- A talented violinist, Lotus Bloom just switched from her inner-city school to a fancy arts academy. Boys think it is hilarious to throw wads of paper into Lotus's hair. It starts as a prank, but escalates after she reports it to the administration-- and finds herself facing suspension. Now Lotus must choose whether to stay quiet and risk everything she has worked so hard for, or fight back. Is this school really where she belongs? -- adapted from jacket
