"Twelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to do is to follow the rules. (Oh, and she'd also like to make it through seventh grade with her best friendships intact, learn to run track, and have a cute boy see past her giant forehead.) But in junior high, it's like all the rules have changed. Now she's suddenly questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are saying she's not black enough. Wait, what? Shay's sister, Hana, is involved in Black Lives Matter, but Shay doesn't think that's for her. After experiencing a powerful protest, though, Shay decides some rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides. And she is given an ultimatum. Shay is scared to do the wrong thing (and even more scared to do the right thing), but if she doesn't face her fear, she'll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that's trouble, for real"--Provided by publisher.

When thirteen-year-old Annabelle's mother gets her to dress up a little, she suddenly finds herself eating and shopping with the Rachael and the other "cool" girls, but also loosing the friends, like John, that she had already made; so, disgusted by what fashion is doing to her, she uses her vlog, "Daphne Doesn't," to make fun of it all and get back to her true self--but Rachael has figured out who Daphne is, and it looks like Annabelle's secret identity is about to be exposed to the whole school.

Annabelle Louis is a military brat, and complete nerd who has always been homeschooled, but with her mother going on assignment in Afghanistan, she is going to have to attend middle school in Linden, New Jersey; her therapist suggests she try sports to make friends, and she creates a vlog, Daphne Doesn't, in which she makes fun of all the things that she considers a waste of time (for example, sports and school)--the vlog proves to be a big hit, but when her classmates start sharing the videos, Annabelle's secret identity may be exposed.

Learning to dance before the winter ball is thirteen-year-old Annabelle's latest challenge, supplying ample material for her video blog, Daphne Doesn't--even more challenging is coping with the exposure of her secret identity (it turns out her friend John has known for weeks) by "cool" girl and sometime enemy Rachael, and finding a way to make what she has been hiding right with all her classmates.
