And she might get her chance - all she has to do is get straight As. It’s looking good until the final gym unit is introduced; square dancing. Lupe, horrified, tries everything she can to get the unit canceled - from researching the racist history of the music to protesting the required compliance to traditional gender roles. Nothing seems to work. Will Lupe learn to dance or give up her chance to meet Fu Li? (Vermont Golden Dome Book Award, 2022)
