When the student council decides to host a dance as a fundraiser for coats for students in need, Jada feels nervous and queasy. She’s excited to give back, but she can’t dance! Still, she’s determined to help the cause and show she cares. She practices her moves, gets helpfrom friends, and even does research at the library to prepare—but will it be enough to help her create change in her community?
