Mascot

Charles Waters, Traci Sorell
(Young Adult Fiction - Y Waters)

An eighth-grade English teacher creates an assignment for her class to debate whether the school's mascot should stay or change. Now six middle schoolers--all with different backgrounds and beliefs--get involved in the contentious issue that already has everyone choosing sides and arguments getting ugly. Readers see how each student comes to new understandings about identity, tradition, and what it means to stand up for real change.
