What's behind the mask?

Antigone Kingsley (Tig) takes the helm to organize a school fundraiser - a summer masquerade ball.

In the third book of this captivating coming-of-age series, Tig continues to grapple with her own challenges. Embarrassed by recent blunders in her online videos and stung by the breakdown of her friendship with Fidge, she's driven by an overwhelming desire to do something so remarkably good that it redefines her identity: organizing a summer masquerade ball to spark a wave of excitement and unite the school.

However, just as the masquerade's plans start falling into place, a startling revelation threatens to ruin everything.
