Volponi’s novel centers on a jock named Adonis who, along with his teammates, makes a game out of making fun of Alan, a new kid who wears lipstick and is part of the Fashion Club. But when the football team concocts a plan to truly humiliate Alan, Adonis isn’t sure he wants to be a part of it. Volponi, who’s taught teens on Rikers Island how to read and write, asks a big question with this book: Do you want to be the person who fits in with the crowd, or the one who stands up for what’s right?
