Cecil Hall and his family have just moved from Florida to Massachusetts,
near Boston. Cecil is anxious about making friends because
he doesn't know where he'll fit in. His older sister, Leah,
thinks he should befriend the other Black kids at his new school,
but Cecil isn't sure how he’d go about doing that. He wants
to be known for his comics-making talent, anyway. But the few kids
who are impressed by Cecil's art aren’t always nice to
him.

trouble, can Cecil stand up for himself and figure out who
