Description
WINNER: 2023 Prime Minister's Literary Awards, Young Adult Literature
SHORTLISTED: 2023 CBCA Book of the Year, Older Readers
It's the first day of Grade Ten, and Winifred is going to reinvent herself. Now that her two best (and only) friends have transferred to a private school, Win must navigate high school on her own. Luckily, she isn't alone for long. In art class, she meets Oscar and April. They don't look or act like the typical teenagers in her town: they're creative, a little rebellious, and seem comfortable in their own skin in a way that Win can only dream of.
But even though Winifred is breaking out of her shell, there's one secret she can't bear to admit to April and Oscar, or even to herself – and this lie threatens everything. Win needs to face her own truths, but she doesn't need to do it alone. Through the healing power of clandestine sleepovers, op-shopping, and zine publishing, Win finds and accepts what it means to be herself.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. This book will stay with you forever. – Jessica Walton, author of the Stars In Their Eyes graphic novel
A heartfelt tale of loneliness, love, and friendship. I couldn't put it down. – Alison Evans, award-winning author of Ida and Euphoria Kids
