Sky experiences seventh grade in a world where 9/11 was just the beginning of years of increasingly destructive terrorism. Her off-the-grid family enters the war for justice by hiding Sky's Middle Eastern classmate. Bombings and breakdown of utility services are mentioned in passing, keeping the focus on Sky, her friend, and timely discussion of civil liberties and interdependence.
