I couldn't put this book down! Talk about tension on every page! The main character, Ellie, wants to win a scholarship to a prestigious school so she can join their champion speech and debate team. At summer speech camp, one student will win a full scholarship to the private school. Problem is, the person selecting the scholarship winners doesn't like Jews...and Ellie is half Jewish. As Ellie struggles with hiding her true identity vs. being true to herself, the reader she discovers important lessons about bigotry, racism, and speaking out for what she truly believes. She almost loses her boyfriend, her grandpa, and her self-respect in the process. But she grows and changes, making the reader SO PROUD of her in the end!!!
