Ava is tired of her ultracool attitude, ultraradical politics, and ultrablack clothing. She's ready to try something new—she's even ready to be someone new. Someone who fits in, someone with a gorgeous boyfriend, someone who wears pink. But Ava soon finds that changing herself is more complicated than changing her wardrobe. Even getting involved in the school musical raises issues she never imagined. As she faces surprising choices and unforeseen consequences, Ava wonders if she will ever figure out who she really wants to be. Pink received an American Library Association Stonewall Award Honor for exceptional merit relating to the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender experience. Supports the Common Core State Standards Teen Identity Crisis: Ava’s plan is simple: new school, new look, new boyfriend. But shedding her old self—and her old girlfriend, Chloe—is more complicated than just buying a pink sweater. High School Fiction: From a disastrous musical audition to the politics of the popular kids versus the stage crew "freaks," this story is full of sharp, relatable high school moments. Found Family: She expected to fit in with the popular crowd, but finds an unexpected home among the "Screws"—the quirky, loyal, and endlessly entertaining stage crew she joins after her singing debut bombs. An LGBTQ+ Honor Book: Winner of a Stonewall Award Honor, this funny and heartfelt novel explores the messy, confusing, and wonderful journey of figuring out who you are and who you love.
