Seventh-grader Sierra Shepard has always been the perfect student, so
when she sees that she accidentally brought her mother's lunch bag to
school, including a paring knife, she immediately turns in the knife at
the school office. Much to her surprise, her beloved principal places
her in in-school suspension and sets a hearing for her expulsion, citing
the school's ironclad no-weapons policy. While there, Sierra spends time
with Luke, a boy who's known as a troublemaker, and discovers that he's
not the person she assumed he would be--and that the lines between good
and bad aren't as clear as she once thought.
