"In a town with growing racial tension, a young Black girl must use her powers of foresight to save an unarmed teen from being killed"-- Provided by publisher.
"Not all Black girls want to be magic, but some of us don't have a choice. Fifteen-year-old Lala Russell has social justice fatigue. It's why she ignores the Confederate flags around her small Texas sundown town and refuses to join the Black Alliance Club at her school. Besides, she has other things to worry about. Her father might be falling in love, and her aunt J can't get over the fact that it's with a white woman. Lala isn't even sure that she and her twin brother are ready for their dad to move on after their mother's death. Most importantly, though, Lala, a talented cellist, is laser-focused on escaping to New York City and attending Juilliard. There's just one issue: She's inherited her grandmother's gift of foresight. Lala has visions of the future -- and they always come true. So when she has a vision of a Black teenage boy being shot in the chest by a white homeowner, Lala knows that she can no longer ignore the rising tensions tearing through her community. Now she has a mission: Find the boy and save him. Marie Arnold has written a devastating and timely story that will resonate with readers long after they turn the final page" -- Jacket flap.
