Until now they've both been coasting, keeping a safe distance from the bleakness of home and the banality of high school. To make things more interesting Serena fixates on communism, eager to get a rise out of their conservative small town. Her Western Civ teacher catches on and challenges her with an independent study of class and upward mobility--what creates the spaces between us. Meanwhile, Grimshaw takes on a mission of her own: to make it onto the cheerleading squad, find a job, and escape the weight of her family's hopeless reputation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut sometimes the biggest obstacles are the ones you don't see coming; Grimshaw's quest for success becomes a fight for survival, and Serena's independent study gets a little too real. With the future of their friendship and their lives on the line, the stakes have never been so high. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristy Ottaviano Books\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Square Fish","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526088773783,"sku":"9781250250919","price":525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781250250919.webp?v=1767265924","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-spaces-between-us-9781250250919","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
