Six years ago, Moss Jefferies' father was killed by an Oakland police officer. He's been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks ever since. Now in his junior year of High School, Moss and his friends find themselves being treated like criminals by the Oakland police in their own school. When they decide to push back against the discrimination, their lives change in ways they couldn't have imagined. Author Mark Oshiro talks about why he wrote this important novel, as well as the positive feedback he's gotten from readers in similar situations as Moss.
