Hoping to raise money for a post-graduation trip to London Asha Jamison and her best friend Carey decide to sell T-shirts promoting the Latte Rebellion a club that raises awareness of mixed-race students. But seemingly overnight their "cause" goes viral and the T-shirts become a nationwide social movement. As new chapters spring up from coast to coast Asha realizes that her simple marketing plan has taken on a life of its own-and it's starting to ruin hers. Asha's once-stellar grades begin to slip threatening her Ivy League dreams while her friendship with Carey hangs by a thread. And when the peaceful underground movement spins out of control Asha's school launches a disciplinary hearing. Facing expulsion Asha must decide how much she's willing to risk for something she truly believes in. Praise: "A thoughtful taste of one girl's attempt at being a world-traveling latte-drinking singularly awesome individual in a world determined to herd her into being classified as either coffee or milk."- TANITA S. DAVIS AUTHOR OF MARE'S WAR A CORETTA SCOTT KING HONOR BOOK "Get ready to start your own rebellion after gulping down Sarah Stevenson's deftly written multi-layered story about growing a voice growing apart and most of all growing up girl." - JUSTINA CHEN AUTHOR OF NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL "Asha is engaging and the depiction of her journey-a realistic mess of vague hopes serendipitous events serious missteps and gutsy choices-compellingly original."- KIRKUS REVIEWS
