This humorous and heartwarming sequel to Simon B. Rhymin', by America's favorite rapping teacher from Chicago, follows a young rapper navigating the inequality and injustice within his school and community. Eleven-year-old Simon and his friends are disappointed with the lack of funding at Booker T. Washington School--there's no AC, only one space for school activities, and the money for extracurricular programs is getting cut.
Desperate to save Maria's beloved debate team, the crew start a petition to grab the attention of the local community and show they deserve to have the same opportunities as everyone else.
