Miss Meteor by Tehlor Kay Mejia

A gorgeous and magical collaboration between two critically acclaimed,
powerhouse YA authors offers a richly imagined underdog story perfect for fans
of Dumplin' and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the
Universe.

There hasn't been a winner of the Miss Meteor beauty pageant
who looks like Lita Perez or Chicky Quintanilla in all its history.

But that's
not the only reason Lita wants to enter the contest, or her ex-best friend
Chicky wants to help her. The road to becoming Miss Meteor isn't about being
perfect; it's about sharing who you are with the world--and loving the parts of
yourself no one else understands.

So to pull off the unlikeliest underdog story
in pageant history, Lita and Chicky are going to have to forget the past and
imagine a future where girls like them are more than enough--they are
everything.
