Two public high school students--relentlessly optimistic, fashion-obsessed Charlie Dean and acerbic metalworker John Thomas-Smith--vie for a scholarship to Green Pastures Academy's fashion design program. Alternating entries from their fashion diaries detail preparations for the climactic fashion show. This companion to The Truth Commission is a whip-smart coming-of-age comedy with memorable characters, welcome diversity, and lots to say about talent and ambition.
