Witty and heartfelt with characters that leap off the page, Miss Meteor is acclaimed authors Anna-Marie McLemore and Tehlor Kay Mejia’s first book together.

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. 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. But that’s not the only reason Lita wants to enter the contest, or why her ex-best friend Chicky wants to help her. There hasn’t been a winner of the Miss Meteor beauty pageant who looks like Lita Perez or Chicky Quintanilla in all its history. Published on September 22nd, 2020 by HarperTeen.
