<b>A <i>Los Angeles Times</i> Book Prize for Young Adult Literature Finalist</b><br> <b>Two starred reviews!</b><br> <b>A Golden Kite Award Finalist for Young Adult Fiction</b><br> <br><b>An</b> <b>“artful and introspective”</b> <b>(</b><i><b>BCCB</b></i><b>, starred</b> <b>review)</b> <b>novel in verse “celebration of neurodiversity wrapped in bars so tight they could stop traffic” (<i>Shelf Awareness</i>) about a Black teen with ADHD who finds self-expression and first love during one epic summer school season</b><b>.</b><br><br>For the third summer in a row, Pernell is back in the classroom, facing the same struggles that have always made school seem more like a battlefield than a place of learning. This summer is different, though: he’s battling to become the Cypher King, leader of the lunchroom’s impromptu rap circles. Here, the rhythm flows and the words fly, creating a space where the wittiest and most rhythmically inclined reign supreme. Here, Pernell’s ADHD gives him an edge.<br> <br>But life outside the cypher isn’t as forgiving. Pernell’s English teacher has it out for him. His parents are pressuring him to see a doctor for his lack of focus. And Electra, his friend-slash-crush and the only one who truly gets him, is too busy chasing her dream internship to give him the time of day.<br> <br>If Pernell doesn’t pull himself together, he won’t just lose the title of Cypher King—he’ll lose his chance to graduate high school. In a world where the systems are turned against kids like him, Pernell needs to find a way to succeed <i>with</i> his ADHD, rather than in spite of it.
