Lux Freer, a non-binary teen, has recently moved to ritzy Westport, where they have the humiliating job of delivering pizzas. Nothing could be worse than arriving at aspiring prom queen Arabella Astor’s mansion wearing a cap emblazoned with pepperonis. Lux’s encounter with the bully Arabella and her beau Drew sets in motion a plot to upend the social stratosphere at Westport Academy. A mysterious wishing well adds to Lux’s world morphing into a place of possibility rather than rejection. At the school talent show, Lux is emboldened as their fantasy comes true, and even the most macho jock in town learns something about tolerance.
