"Christy Ottaviano books" -- title page.
"A YA coming-of-age novel about a first-year, first-generation Black student at Dartmouth College."-- There are many watchers and they are always white. That is the first thing Echo notices as she settles into Dartmouth College. Despite graduating high school in Cleveland as valedictorian, she is struggling to keep up in demanding classes. The campus is not the promised rainbow-colored utopia where education lifts every voice. Nor is it a paradise of ideas, an incubator of inclusivity, or even an exciting dating scene. But it might be a portal to different dimensions of time and space-- only accessible if Echo accepts her calling as a Chosen One and takes charge of her future by healing her past. -- adapted from jacket
Ages 14 & up. Little, Brown and Company.
