An inspiring, hilarious YA debut packed full of fun, forever friendships, and fighting back, perfect for fans of Alice Oseman and Casey McQuiston. Imogen Quinn dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian, crushing stereotypes about autistic people. When she decides to put on a Pride festival that's accessible to everyone, she enlists the help of the openly gay captain of the football team, Ollie Armstrong. Dealing with the fallout from his parents' divorce, Ollie is initially hesitant. But it doesn't take long for him to be swept up by Imogen's passion, and he's not the only one. Joined by the infuriatingly perfect head girl, musicians, an artist, and a star baker, a dream team soon assembles to help plan Pride and tackle injustices in their school and beyond. You'd better listen up-they're getting ready to make some noise. Published in partnership with media advocacy organization GLAAD, this empowering book positively represents LGBTQ teens.
