Trev's stepfather has been in prison for two years for hitting Trev's mother.

Protecting his mother from his stepfather has kept Trev lit and stressed and he is unsure of the right choices he needs to make.

Trev is struggling and anxious. His step-dad is in jail for hitting his mom, but his release is imminent. And that has Trev stressed. He wants to be able to protect his mom and sisters. He seeks the advice of his uncles, his teacher, his friend P. They try learning to box and getting strong. But Trey thinks about his promise (potential) and the ways in which his choices now will impact his family. A quick read. Short chapters.

RGG: A tiny bit didatic, but the issue of a bi-racial sixth grader navigating how society might see him, how his white and Black peers might see him, and the example of a good white ally friend plus the portrayal of male friendships, the use of vernacular and the low page count make for a good read, and a hi/lo read.
