Vanessa, complete with hot-pink hair and dream job at an art store, is ready for the world beyond high school. She takes her creative life too far when she vandalizes school property. Her mother, grandfather, and two best friends help channel her artistic endeavors. Teens looking to make a statement of their own may identify with Vanessa's sentiments.

YA
Sophomore Alice and her best friend, an artsy boy called Jewel, exist on the periphery of their Seattle high school's in-crowd. Unexpected lip-locks with Jewel and the football player she has a crush on lead Alice in different directions. With a good ear for dialogue and sure character delineation, Gallagher makes fresh the oft-visited terrain of high school friendship and romance.
