Description

"Sometimes 12-year-old Donte wishes he were invisible. As one of the few black boys at Middlefield Prep, most of the students don't look like him. They don't like him, either. Dubbing him 'Black Brother, ' Donte's teachers and classmates make it clear they wish he were more like his lighter-skinned brother Trey. When he's bullied and framed by the captain of the fencing team, 'King' Alan, he's suspended from school and arrested. Terrified, searching for a place where he belongs, Donte joins a local youth center and meets former Olympic fencer Arden Jones. With Arden's help, he begins training as a competitive fencer, setting his sights on taking down the fencing team captain, no matter what"--
