Publisher: Harper Teen
Release Date: Feb. 8, 2011
Ava has a secret. She is tired of her ultracool attitude, ultra-radical politics, and ultrablack clothing. She's ready to try something new—she's even ready to be someone new. Someone who fits in, someone with a gorgeous boyfriend, someone who wears pink.
Transferring to Billy Hughes School for Academic Excellence is the perfect chance to try on a new identity. But just in case things don't work out, Ava is hiding her new interests from her parents, and especially from her old girlfriend.
Secrets have a way of being hard to keep, though, and Ava finds that changing herself is more complicated than changing her wardrobe. Even getting involved in the school musical raises issues she never imagined. As she faces surprising choices and unforeseen consequences, Ava wonders if she will ever figure out who she really wants to be.
Humor, heart, and the joys of drama—on- and offstage—combine in Ava's delight-fully colorful journey of self-discovery. (Publisher's summary from Amazon)

I haven't heard of this book before but I really like the sound of the story. Plus I LOVE the cover! Awesome choice this week and thanks for sharing :)
Sounds like the kind of book I like ;D Ava seems interesting, wanting a boyfriend but having a girlfriend?
This one sounds great. So many teens (and people of all ages) go through wanting to reinvent themselves - this could be a lot of fun!
This sounds really good. Kind of a different twist on 'the popular girl gets tired of her life and wants to rebel.'
Thats different from my usual reads but it does sound very interesting.
Heres my Waiting on Wednesday.

Great pick. It good to see this Aussie book is going to be released in the States finally. The cover is more attention grabbing than the Aussie one :)
Ohhh, I love the sound of this one! I especially love the conflicting pink and black lipstick; I guess that directly relates to her wanting to change. Awesome pick!
This one does sound cool and who could resist that super awesome cover?
This sounds like fun...could go good or bad depending.
This one does sound unique, I'll definitely have to keep an eye out for it. Great pick :)
Another great choice this week! It does looks like a good story and such an interesting cover!
