The Tuttle Twins and the Medals of Merit

The Tuttle Twins and the Medals of Merit

When a competition Ethan and Emily Tuttle enter starts rewarding identity and circumstances over effort and ability, the twins are forced to question everything they’ve believed about fairness and merit. As ideas about equal outcomes begin to take hold around them, they must find the courage to stand up for individual achievement — and discover what it really means to earn something.
