YA
High school junior Felicity's red tresses are the envy of Scarletville, Iowa, a town peopled almost entirely by redheads. With the Miss Scarlet Pageant coming up, Felicity seems like a shoo-in--until her (brunette, ugh!) classmate discovers her hair secret. Though the stakes are pretty low (if Felicity tells the truth she'll be a better person, duh), the story is entertaining--especially for redheads.
