YA book help?
OKAY.
So I'm trying to remember the name of this fiction book that I read in ... probably middle school? So it was probably YA, though who knows?
Students in a high school (?) social sciences class are allowed to take part in what I think was called "The Color Game". Each of them was assigned/picked randomly a colored scarf - the only thing that I remember is that Blues were the elite class. Everything in the class, from access to class money (which could buy free periods, blah blah) to first pick of books, was assigned by your color class.
But then things break down in really interesting ways and the colors of their scarves affect the way they interact with each other outside of class.
I remember thinking (AT TWELVE OR WHATEVER) that it was a really interesting book and said interesting shit about oppression, especially since the teacher assigned a lot of the Blue scarves to students of color.
Right. Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?
