Summary:  In 1955, a Black family relocates to the suburbs where they must pass for white, but dark secrets about the town and its inhabitants threaten their new home. Calvin knows how to pass for white. He's done it plenty of times. For his friends in Chicago, when they wanted food but weren't allowed in a restaurant. For work, when he and he dad traveled for the Green Book. This is different. After a tragedy in Chicago forces the family to flee, they resettle in an idyllic all-white suburban town in search of a better life. Calvin's father wants them to embrace their new lifestyle, but that's easier said than done. Hiding your true self is exhausting -- which leads Calvin across town, where he can make Black friends who know all of him... and where he can spend time with his noew crush, Lily. But when Calvin starts unraveling dark secrets about the white town and its inhabitants, passing begins to feel even more suffocating -- and dangerous -- that he could have imagined." --from publisher."
