My Life in Pink and Green

My Life in Pink and Green, by Lisa Greenwald

How can a 12-year old possibly help save her family's Old Mill Pharmacy from going out of business? Lucy Desberg has inherited her activist ways from her mom, her work ethic from her grandmother and her flair for cosmetics from all those years stocking shelves at the pharmacy and practicing makeup on her older sister. After helping a popular teen during a "hair emergency", all the teens in town turn to Lucy for their makeup needs. Lucy's family doesn't think this little side business can turn the pharmacy around and makes plans to shut down. But Lucy has other, bigger ideas that just might save the pharmacy. A fun read about how one person can make a difference. Lucy's confident personality, her friendships, plus the focus on environmentally friendly businesses will appeal to girls ages 10 and up.
