Something feels off about this middle grade realistic fiction story about a small town school dealing with the sudden appearance of hateful graffiti and rumors of an openly racist past. It could've been the tones of the audiobook or the way the religious and cultural aspects were handled or that I just didn't connect with the main cool kid character. I'm not really sure — and there's still plenty to like here (including a twist that makes thing really interesting and adds far more depth) — so I'm just going to skip the rating and move on.
