This is an extremely well-crafted book about the current targeting of diversity initiatives in school and the people it really impacts. Will it make you angry because you know this is happening across the country? You betcha. Will you yell at Ossie for not thinking through one of his decisions towards the end of the book? Absolutely. But it's an important story about using your voice and your community to fight against those who want to silence your voice.

Definitely recommend the audiobook because the narrator did a fantastic job!
