Publisher Description
Three Mormon high school friends, perky Nikki, studious Alicia, and football player Sam, make a pact of the Pygmalion style-they decide to help the "untapped" students at their school. Their plan is to transform three classmates and take them to the prom. But the experiment doesn't go exactly as planned. They slowly begin to realize that there is more to most people than meets the eye. A popular author and ALA Best Book for Young Adults winner, Kristen D. Randle explores many important concerns teens face every day. The mixed emotions of Nikki, Alicia, and Sam are brought to life through the hopeful narration.

“In this Pygmalion story with a twist, three provincial high-school seniors, all Mormons with conventional values, bet that each can befriend a classmate with untapped potential, change him or her for the better, then take that person to the prom. But the chosen students, who have their own agendas, are more resistant than flattered, and it's the triad of heroes-two girls and guy-who end up having their eyes opened…a thoughtful work about the nature of doing good.”
