Sixth-grader Minnie knows that her father lost his job for "blowing a whistle," but she doesn't understand that--or much else since her family's move. Then she forms a friendship with an equally isolated Muslim student and is challenged by an eccentric teacher. Minnie ultimately learns about loyalty and what it means to stand up for the truth in this touching story.
