Samira knows this is going to be the worst summer ever. Her best friend, Kiera, ditched her for the cool girls, and her parents and older sister are taking a trip to India. Sammy is staring down endless weeks spent with Imran, her little brother, and her Umma. To top it all off--literally--her house gets TP'd. The TP'ing upsets Imran, convinced that they're being targeted because they're the only brown family on the block. When Sammy attempts to solve the problem, she creates a bigger mess instead. But she also meets new girl Alice, who is determined to figure out who was behind the TP'ing. Suddenly, Sammy's "boring" summer is full of clue-finding hunts, garage band practices, and getting to know her neighbors like never before. But when Kiera starts stealing Alice away, Sammy must decide if she wants to stand up for herself. One thing is certain: This summer is either going to be the worst or maybe the best of Samira's life.
