Nine teens and one teacher each tell a story about a seemingly ordinary school day in November. Each story reveals more about the characters--their secrets, troubled family lives, crushes, and friendships--and how they relate to one another. (Often, it's through someone giving someone else the finger, a gesture appearing in each story.) These interconnected stories create a powerful, complex whole.
