Tessa Masterson Will Go to the Prom

Booktalk
Lucas finally figures it out one day: he has a crush on his long-time friend Tessa, and he’s going to ask her to prom. Imagine his surprise then when Tessa, someone he’s known better and trusted more than anyone else, counters his offer with a long-held secret: she’s a lesbian, and she’s going to prom with her crush, another girl. Lucas is hurt. He’s confused. However, Lucas has to decide what kind of person to be when angry protestors and hateful words at school begin to make Tessa’s life torture in their little Midwestern town. He can either step back and watch the controversy unfold, or he can help ensure that Tessa Masterson Will Go to Prom.
