"Today is a big day for Wesley Wilder. Her poem about Indigenous Peoples' Day will be printed in the school newspaper--and she also has a plan to ask her crush, fellow gamer Ryan, to go with her to the school dance. But from the moment she boards the morning bus, Wesley's day starts to unravel. Between jittery emotions, unexpected encounters, and awkward conversations with her teachers, almost nothing goes according to plan. Still, the day has even more surprises in store for Wesley when she attends an intertribal powwow, where she learns some truths that aren't surprising at all. Including the truth that she is just as brave--and as loved--as she could dream. In this warm hug of a novel, award-winning author Christine Day assures readers that even with all the very real problems they may face, they are worthy, their voices matter--and they belong."-- Front flap of dust jacket.
