Overview
Jake likes the back of the classroom. Amongst desks, diverse faces and decorated walls, he can blend in, at least on most days. But today is not most days. Today is presentation day, and on presentation day, even the timid face the spotlight. Those like Jake, who are not only timid, but have something to hide, must be careful. One misstep could reveal his big secret- that he has a fin, a fin that he tapes down beneath his shirt every day to avoid public ridicule. Sadly, you can't plan for everything. Missteps occur, and when they do, Jake must either stand small or stand tall. By standing tall, he learns that confronting your insecurities shapes you more than any protruding back appendage ever could.It also shapes others. Inspired by Jake's courage, fellow students follow his lead and share their own secrets. By the end of class, the fin that weighed Jake down lifts everyone up.
