A boy named Thelonious Mitchell is in special ed and supposedly has "issues". That makes all the teachers and students look at him and his friends with a constant side-eye. When a gun is found at a neighborhood hangout, Thelonius and his pals become instant suspects. Thelonius may be guilty of pulling crazy stunts at school, but a criminal? Thelonious has to find a way to prove himself innocent and the guns owner guilty.
Fans of Jason Reynolds and Sharon M. Draper will love this oh-so-honest middle grade novel from writer and educator Maurice Broaddus.
