A story in which a young girl encounters a boy in a coffee shop

Cynth Abdullah. A girl of action. A girl with a plan. She knows what she wants and fights to get it. But after fighting to revive her school's newspaper, she must recruit a staff of unlikely girls to help her run the chronicle. And soon it isn't just about the newspaper anymore. The girls lead lives of their own and experience hardships. But the real test of friendship comes when controversial tension breaks out in their urban Chicago high school and a cut throat newspaper war begins. This is an all out girl power story that highlights standing up for what you believe in, as cliche as it sounds, embracing your talents, and banding together to fight against stereotypes, for equality, and with the people you love.
