Being twelve isn't easy, especially when you're Neva Beane. Neva feels beautiful wearing her new bra, but she's confused by how others respond to the changes taking place in and out of her body. Her best friend, Jamila, is getting all the attention. Her brother, Clayton, is becoming an activist. And Mom and Dad are gone working-again. Grandad and Nana aren't much help, either, with their old ways and backward views • Neva struggles to find her place in a world that, like the political landscape that's always shifting around her in her West Philadelphia neighborhood, is uncertain, at times scary, but most always, filled with unanswered questions. Neva is left with what comforts her most-words and their meanings, which she chronicles herself. While the pages of her beloved dictionary reveal truths about what's happening around her, Neva must discover the best way to define herself

Here are a few about her • She collects bobbleheads — she has 77 so far • She moved from Egypt to America when she was six years old • The hippo amulet she wears is ancient... as in it's literally from ancient Egypt • She's going to win the contest to design a new exhibit at the local museum. Because how cool would that be?! • (Okay, so that last one isn't a fact just yet, but Nadia has plans to make it one.) • But then a new kid shows up and teases Nadia about her Egyptian heritage. It's totally unexpected, and totally throws her off her game
