Description
Liz Lighty has always relied on her tight-knit family, longtime friends, and carefully planned future to navigate life as one of the few Black students at her small-town Indiana high school. When financial obstacles threaten her dream of attending the prestigious Pennington College, Liz reluctantly enters the race for prom queen, stepping far beyond her comfort zone for the scholarship that could change everything. Along the way, she confronts the pressures of popularity, identity, and belonging while discovering unexpected friendships—and the possibility of romance. A vibrant, heartfelt young adult story about ambition, self-acceptance, community, and finding the courage to be seen.
