Seventh-grader Sierra Shepard has always been the perfect student, so when she sees that she accidentally brought her mother's lunch bag to school, including a paring knife, she immediately turns in the knife at the school office. Much to her surprise, her beloved principal places her in in-school suspension and sets a hearing for her expulsion, citing the school's ironclad no-weapons policy. While there, Sierra spends time with Luke, a boy who's known as a troublemaker, and discovers that he's not the person she assumed he would be-and that the lines between good and bad aren't as clear as she once thought.

Industry Reviews

"After turning in a paring knife she accidentally brought to school with her lunch, a high-achieving, rule-following seventh-grade girl is suspended, and her case becomes a media sensation. . . . Provocative and fun, from a master of the school story." --Kirkus Reviews

"This compelling novel could also spark a discussion about the slippery nature of rules and how they are enforced." --School Library Journal

"This will make provocative discussion fodder, and it will also encourage kids to think more deeply about their relationship with rules and approval." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
