Fourteen-year-old Leila is used to being mocked at school. Her tangled hair, dirty clothes, her broken phone—and her love of science and excellent grades—all become targets for ridicule. But no one knows what Leila’s life is really like. A flooded apartment with no electricity, into which you can get only through the window. A mother who’s barely at home and never calls her by name. A younger brother Leila must care for. Dampness, hunger, indifference. When school announces a contest for the best video about biomes, Leila takes the camera her teacher gives her and films her own home: a rotten floor, black mold on the walls, mushrooms in the drawer of a dresser, a fridge that’s been switched off—where insects have made themselves at home. The video goes online, and everyone learns the truth about Leila. But is she ready for the fact that her life will change?
