Maya and Nikki are twin sisters, living in an eclectic part of Portland. When their best friend moves out of the house across the street, a white family moves in, and the girls become friends with the son and daughter. As seniors in high school, the girls seem to know who they are, but things around them are changing, which causes them to re-think plans they've been making since they were kids. A new principal at their school wants to highlight the diversity of their school, but Maya (the student body president) is not sure he's going about it the right way.

I enjoyed this story and the closer look it takes at race issues for our teens. They have opinions that may differ from adult opinions and they need to be heard. Maya and Nikki may have different senior years than each other, but they both come out learning something about themselves and their community in the end. Side note: I love the teacher, Mrs. Armstrong, and the gentle nudging she gives to her journalism students.
