Eleven-year-old Jenae doesnt have any friendsand shes just fine with that. Shes so good at being invisible in school, its almost like she has a superpower, like her idol, Astrid Dane. At home, Jenae has plenty of company, like her no-nonsense mama; her older brother, Malcolm, who is home from college after a basketball injury; and her beloved grandpa, Gee.
Then a new student shows up at schoola boy named Aubrey with fiery red hair and a smile that wont quit. Jenae cant figure out why he keeps popping up everywhere she goes. The more she tries to push him away, the more he seems determined to be her friend. Despite herself, Jenae starts getting used to having him around.
But when the two are paired up for a class debate about the proposed name change for their school, Jenae knows this new friendship has an expiration date. Aubrey is desperate to win and earn a coveted spot on the debate team.
Theres just one problem: Jenae would do almost anything to avoid speaking up in front of an audienceincluding risking the first real friendship shes ever had.
