From the Back Cover

While Mom is chasing her dreams in Hollywood, my dreams are turning into nightmares. Antoine is back to his old tricks. And now he’s getting help from Lil P, a huge 7th grader with an even bigger attitude. These two are nothing but trouble for me. Dad says doing the right thing is always cool, but it’s not always easy. Like when I confronted Tyrod, the class bully. He was all over the new kid, Gilmer. When I tried to stop him we all ended up in the principal’s office. That’s double trouble when the principal is your dad. I’ve been trying to do everything the right way. I even pray before I answer mom or dad’s tough questions. And I’m getting braver about speaking up when something isn’t right. I have a long way to go, but Morgan and Trey won’t let me slip. I know the best way to show God I love Him is to follow His rules, no matter what.
