Red,
White, & Royal Blue meets The West Wing in
Jasper Sanchez's electric and insightful #ownvoices YA debut, chronicling a
transmasculine student's foray into a no-holds-barred student body president
election against the wishes of his politician father.
Optics can make or break an election. Everything Mark
knows about politics, he learned from his father, the Congressman who still
pretends he has a daughter and not a son.
Mark has promised to keep his past
hidden and pretend to be the cis guy everyone assumes he is. But when he sees a
manipulatively charming candidate for student body president inflame dangerous
rhetoric, Mark risks his low profile to become a political challenger.
The problem? No one really knows Mark. He didn't grow up in this town, and his few friends are
all nerds. Still, thanks to Scandal and The West Wing, they know
where to start: from campaign stops to voter polling to a fashion makeover.
Soon Mark feels emboldened to engage with voters--and even start a new romance.
But with an investigative journalist digging into his past, a father trying to
silence him, and the bully frontrunner standing in his way, Mark will have to
decide which matters most: perception or truth, when both are just as
dangerous.
Mind-bogglingly good. This
is a novel that every teen needs. --Kacen Callender, author of Felix Ever After
Charming, stunning, and unapologetically queer. --Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You
All the Best and The Ghosts We Keep
