Hazel Says No

Hazel Blum, please report to the principal’s office. Hazel Blum.

When Hazel Blum's father gets a tenured job at a prestigious college, she and her family relocate from the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn to a middle-of-nowhere college town in Maine. With her mother Claire, a clothing designer, and her father Gus, an American Studies professor, Hazel and her 11-year-old brother Wolf spend the summer at the town pool, where they acclimate to their new lives and connect with the town's sprawling community.

That is, until a dramatic fallout on the very first day of her senior year tips the fickle balance of idyllic Riverburg and impacts everyone in her family.
