该书讲述了友谊、家庭和为正义而战的故事,非常适合中学生阅读。 12岁的Shayla非常怕麻烦。她只想遵守规则做每一件事。她最想的是她能与她最好的朋友保持友谊,完整地度过七年级,学会跑田径,让喜欢的男孩子注意到她…… 但到了初中,好像所有的规则都变了。她突然质疑她最好的朋友是谁,甚至学校里有人说她不够黑。等等,什么?故事好像在朝着她不能理解的方向发展。 "一名开枪打死手无寸铁的黑人的警察的审判,气氛紧张。当这名警官被释放后,Shay和她的家人一起去参加一个无声的抗议活动,她开始明白,有些麻烦是值得制造的。" From debut author Lisa Moore Ramée comes this funny and big-hearted debut middle grade novel about friendship, family, and standing up for what’s right, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give and the novels of Renée Watson and Jason Reynolds. Twelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to do is to follow the rules. (Oh, and she’d also like to make it through seventh grade with her best friendships intact, learn to run track, and have a cute boy see past her giant forehead.) But in junior high, it’s like all the rules have changed. Now she’s suddenly questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are saying she’s not black enough. Wait, what? Shay’s sister, Hana, is involved in Black Lives Matter, but Shay doesn't think that's for her. After experiencing a powerful protest, though, Shay decides some rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides. And she is given an ultimatum. Shay is scared to do the wrong thing (and even more scared to do the right thing), but if she doesn't face her fear, she'll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that’s trouble, for real. "Tensions are high over the trial of a police officer who shot an unarmed Black man. When the officer is set free, and Shay goes with her family to a silent protest, she starts to see that some trouble is worth making."
