Farah and her best friend, Allie Liu, are getting excited to turn in
their applications to the Magnet Academy, where they both hope to
attend sixth grade. But when new girl Dana Denver shows up, Farah's
world is turned upside down. As Dana starts bullying Farah's little
brother, Samir, Farah begins to second-guess her choice to leave him
behind at Harbortown Elementary/Middle School. Determined to handle
it on her own, Farah comes up with a plan--a plan that involves lying
to those closest to her. Will her lies catch up with her, or can
Farah find a way to defeat the bully and rock fifth grade?
