Not My Fault

"Not My Fault" is popping up everywhere: at home, in the park, even at school. At first, it's a secret way for Hy to deal with being bullied, but the protest art becomes addictive and morphs into a massive, creative project in defense of other social injustices.
Hy's own social circle is more like an adult-sized square with Mr. Sanchez, Mom, Mr. Fadikar, and Gram at the corners while Hy stands alone in the middle. But a chance encounter in the park with an exotic eleventh-grader named Belinda is about to change the shape of everything. Buzzing with newfound confidence at school, Hy is again targeted by Jordan- this time with an outcome nobody would believe. When Belinda gets pregnant, Hy has to navigate more uncharted territory and add to some already messy feelings of lust, loss, and friendship.
So this former tenth-grade loser is about to soar into the art world with spray cans blazing… right? Maybe, but getting kicked out of school wasn't part of the plan. Fortunately, Hy gets some help from an unlikely source: a dad who, until now, has never been in the picture thanks to Mom's big secret.
"Not My Fault" is for anyone- from current teenager to one still at heart- who's ever felt lonely, other, unsure, or simply undiscovered. Readers will relate to, root for, and ultimately cheer for Hy.
