When the principal at Lupton Academy posts a "prohibited media" hit list, Clara Evans is horrified. Titles like "Their eyes were watching God" and "The perks of being a wallflower" have been pulled from the library and aren't allowed on the school's premises. Students caught with the contraband will be punished. Clara starts an UnLib-- an underground library-- in her locker. When one of the books she loves most is connected to a tragedy she never saw coming, Clara is forced to face her role in it.
