Best friends Walt and Noah decide to use their voices to grow more good in the world, but first they've got to find cool. Walt is convinced junior year is their year, and he has a plan to help them woo the girls of their dreams and become amazing athletes. Never mind that he and Noah failed to make the high school baseball team yet again, and Noah's love interest since third grade, Sam, has him firmly in the friend zone. Noah soon finds himself navigating the worlds of jazz, batting cages, the strange advice of Walt's Dairy Queen-employed cousin, as well as Walt's own perceptions of what is actually cool. Status quo seems inevitable until Noah stumbles on a stash of old love letters. Each page contains the words he's always wanted to say to Sam, and he begins secretly creating artwork using the lines that speak his heart. But when his private artwork becomes public, Noah has a decision to make: continue his life in the dugout and possibly lose the girl forever, or take a swing and make his voice heard? At the same time, numerous American flags are being left around town. While some think it's a harmless prank and others see it as a form of peaceful protest, Noah can't shake the feeling something bigger is happening to his community. Especially after he witnesses events that hint divides and prejudices run deeper than he realized. As the personal and social tensions increase around them, Noah and Walt must decide what is really true when it comes to love, friendship, sacrifice, and fate."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Fiction Alexander   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexander   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexander   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexander   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexander   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexander Sports Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library YA -- Fiction Alexander   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
