For the third summer in a row, Pernell is back in the classroom, facing the same struggles that have always made school seem more like a battlefield than a place of learning. This summer is different, though: he's ready to become the Cypher King, leader of the lunchroom's impromptu rap circle. Here, the rhythm flows and the words fly, creating a space where the wittiest and most rhythmically inclined reign supreme. Here, Pernell's ADHD gives him an edge... 13+ A novel in verse about a Black teen with ADHD who finds self-expression and first love during one epic summer school season.
