The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson
Tiffany D. Jackson’s The Weight of Blood is a retelling of one of Stephen King’s most beloved novels, Carrie. Madison Washington has always been the target of bullying at Springville High. But the bullying only gets worse after her big secret is revealed: Maddy is biracial and has been passing as white. Then, when a video that shows the extent of the racism at Springville High goes viral, the school decides the best way to rehabilitate its image is by hosting the school’s first integrated prom.
If you’re familiar with the story of Carrie, then you know a prom is only going to cause more problems. Especially when Maddy’s other secret is revealed.
