True Colors by Krysten Lindsay Hager
A little competition can really bring out people’s
true colors.
Landry Albright just wants to be one of the
interesting girls at school who always have exciting things going on in their
lives. She wants to stand out, but also wants to fit in, so she gives in when
her two best friends, Ericka and Tori, push her into trying out for a teen
reality show modeling competition with them. Landry goes in nervous, but
impresses the judges enough to make it to the next round. However, Ericka and
Tori get cut and basically "unfriend" her on Monday at school. Landry
tries to make new friends, but gets caught up between wanting to be herself and
conforming to who her new friends want her to be. Along the way she learns that
modeling is nowhere as glamorous as it seems, how to deal with frenemies, a new
crush, and that true friends see you for who you really are and like you
because of it.
What people are saying about True Colors:
From Teenage Book
Recommendations in the UK:
"This is a fantastically relatable and real
book which I feel captures all of the insecurities and troubles which haunt the
modern teenage girl. It is about a young model who has to go through tough
times when she is torn between a life as a model and managing her friendships.
You learn which friends she can most trust and which will create the drama
typical of teenage life. Follow the life of Landry and try to see if you can
find out which are her true friends before their true colours are revealed.
This book is all about relationships, hopes and truth. I loved this book!"
From Books &
Authors Spot: This book is such an inspiration for those who just care
about their looks and are teased about them. This thing is looks aren't every
thing. This book is related to every teen's problem. Hager has written a very
inspiring novel.
