The Honor Roll

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

Priya Nair has December mapped to the decimal: 559 points banked, one research paper and one final exam between her and the Honor Roll. Then the paper comes back B+ — honestly graded, impossible to appeal — and the perfect semester she planned is suddenly out of reach. Around the corner booth at Mabel's Diner, her five friends refuse to let a grade decide what she is worth, and Priya begins to sit with a question she cannot solve like an equation: what if rest is something you receive, not something you earn? A Christian young adult novel about pressure, friendship, and learning to come and rest.

Written from a Christian worldview — Scripture first.
