In this joyful YA novel about self-acceptance, friendship, and the power of cultural tradition, two teens experience their first Toronto Caribbean Carnival in their last summer of high school.

As the two best friends, one from a conservative Nigerian family and the other a Jamaican-Canadian, prepare costumes to dance for the first time in the Carnival parade, they confront questions of body image, relationships with young men, and the transition to the world beyond high school.
