Reading about Ida's life and work prompts Indigo to keep investigating her school's policies. She soon finds out that the rules aren't enforced equally. In fact, the harshest punishments tend to fall on Black and brown students. When Indigo keeps reporting on this issue, her newfound popularity starts to slip away. Her friends tell her she's overreacting. Classmates say she's too aggressive, too negative, too annoying. But Ida gets in. Ida spent her whole life battling racism. And as Indigo reads more of Ida's letters, she realizes she'll hae to choose between keeping quiet and fighting for justice. "Indigo, an eighth-grade investigative reporter, is torn between fighting a racist school policy and keeping her friends--until she discovers a series of letters written by Black journalist and activist Ida B.
