Vichet Chum is a beautiful wordsmith and a fresh, welcome new voice in the YA canon. — Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

An empowering coming-of-age story with genuine character growth. —Kirkus Reviews

A searing, joyful YA debut about a queer Cambodian American teen’s journey to find her voice and step into her legacy. With her first video posted to social media, Soma Kear has become a viral MC. Trouble is, she didn’t exactly think the whole thing through. All Soma knew was that her rhymes were urgent. They were on fire. They were an expression of where she was, and that place . . . was a hot mess.
