About this ebook
From the critically acclaimed author Black and White comes this finely wrought story of bullies, victims, and the bystanders caught in between.
How do you decide when to stand by and when to take a stand?
Adonis is on the football team. He’s dating one of the hottest girls at school. He’s a guy’s guy. He’s tough.
Alan is the new kid in school. He joins the Fashion Club, wears lipstick, and wants to be called Alana.
The football team can’t stand Alan. How can they be real guys as long as he’s prancing around school, dressing and acting like a girl? They want to teach Alan a lesson that he’ll never forget. Adonis is glad to go along with his teammates . . . until they come up with a dangerous plan to publicly humiliate Alan. Now Adonis must decide whether he wants to be a guy who follows the herd—or a man who does what’s right.
