(3) YA Twelve days before his rock band, the Rusty Soles, takes the stage on Arts Night, eighth grader Anthony Castillo pens song lyrics that include the f-word. The song goes viral online, and Anthony has to decide whether he'll censor himself or risk getting in trouble at school. The story's situations and sentiments fit the angsty junior-high setting.
