Latte Rebellion

Temporarily out of stock

Getting called a “towel head” inspires high school senior Asha Jamison with a great money-making idea: selling T-shirts promoting the Latte Rebellion, a club that raises awareness of mixed-race students. When their “cause” goes viral, Asha’s life spirals out of control.

Hoping to raise money for a post-graduation trip to London, Asha Jamison and her best friend Carey decide to sell T-shirts promoting the Latte Rebellion, a club that raises awareness of mixed-race students.But seemingly overnight, their \"cause\" goes viral and the T-shirts become a nationwide social movement. As new chapters spring up from coast to coast, Asha realizes that her simple marketing plan has taken on a life of its own—and it's starting to ruin hers. Asha's once-stellar grades begin to slip, threatening her Ivy League dreams, while her friendship with Carey hangs by a thread. And when the peaceful underground movement spins out of control, Asha's school launches a disciplinary hearing. Facing expulsion, Asha must decide how much she's willing to risk for something she truly believes in.
