"Armed with her sixth-grade teacher's parting words of encouragement, incoming seventh grader Annie Inoue was ready to take on the next year of her life doing just that: following her dreams. As seventh grade unfolds, so do the opportunities for dreaming. There are basketball tryouts, Annie's first big crush, and, most importantly, auditions for a huge middle school production of The King and I that Annie is dying to be in. So when she lands a prominent role in the play, she's ecstatic . . . until she hears murmurs around school that she only got the role because it's an Asian play with Asian characters. Then, she's stunned. This was her dream, and now her classmates want to take it away from her? Devastated but determined, Annie channels her hurt into a new dream: showing everyone what she's made of. Waka T. Brown, author of While I Was Away, delivers an uplifting and empowering coming-of-age story about a Japanese American girl's fight to make space for herself in a world that claims to celebrate everyone's differences but doesn't always follow through."-- Provided by publisher.
