When Julia finds a slur scrawled on the wall of her school, Kingston School for the Deaf, she covers it up with a mural of her own. But when she is expelled for her illegal graffiti, she becomes the only deaf student at her new school. Julia's art is her only outlet in this new environment. She soon realizes she may not be the only graffiti artist in town...

Told with wit and grit by debut author Gardner, who also provides gorgeous interior illustrations of deaf high-school student Julia's graffiti tags, this novel introduces a one-of-a-kind protagonist who is unabashedly herself no matter what life throws in her way.
