Description
What if a school’s mascot is seen as racist, but not by everyone? In this compelling middle-grade novel in verse, two best-selling BIPOC authors tackle this hot-button issue.
A perfect book for future changemakers and activists seeking contemporary stories about systematic racism and empowering kids ages 10+ to fight for justice in their communities. In Rye, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC, people work hard, kids go to school, and football is big on Friday nights. An 8th grade English teacher creates an assignment for her class to debate whether Rye’s mascot should stay or change. Now six middle schoolers–all with different backgrounds and beliefs–get involved in the contentious issue that already has the suburb turned upside down with everyone choosing sides and arguments getting ugly. Told from several perspectives, readers see how each student comes to new understandings about identity, tradition, and what it means to stand up for real change. An empowering middle-grade novel, Mascot is sure to inspire readers and start conversations in classrooms and communities across the country. “Waters and Sorell’s plain spoken verse is always sharp and direct.” —The New York Times Book Review “The kids and I are so grateful for this gift you both have given to teachers, kids, and our world.” -Ms. Corgill, 5th Grade Teacher, Alabama- A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2023
