Mac has a reputation-and not the good kind.

When his best friend gets hurt on the playground, everyone assumes he's to blame. Facing suspension, Mac gets one last shot to clear his name: a classroom mock trial, complete with witnesses, lawyers, and a surprise judge.

As secrets come out and friendships are tested, Mac learns that breaking free of a label is harder than it looks-but maybe being seen for who you really are is worth the fight.
