Stevie Crumb doesn't want to stand out. But when you're nearly 5'10" in secondary school, it's kind of hard not to. All anyone wants to talk about is Stevie's height - even Stevie's parents, who would just love for her to be an athlete like her basketball-star older brother. Sure, Stevie wants to be good at something - maybe even great at something. She'd just prefer it didn't draw even more attention to her lanky frame. A chance encounter leads Stevie to the school's debate team instead, where she meets cute fellow debater Cedric. He's shorter than she is, and Stevie doesn't think anything of it - until her best friend points it out. Then strange guys on the subway start making comments about Stevie's body, too - which is not only annoying, but scary and unsafe. It's time for Stevie to ask for help, set some boundaries, and realise that standing up (and standing out) isn't such a bad thing after all.
