At Urban Promise Prep school, strict rules keep the students in line, even to the point of harassment. Donations are given to the boys’ school in large amounts but students are told no when they ask for help with extracurricular activity funding. On a day when Principal Moore sent three teens to detention, he ends up being fatally shot and those three young men are blamed. 17yo Trey, J.B., and Ramon have to work together to clear their names. They also need help from others to get to the bottom of the mystery.
I liked the mystery and the story behind it. I enjoyed how the suspense built throughout the story. The alternating narrative made the book more interesting. Main characters are a mixed ethnicity, white, Black, Mexican American.
