Novel Description: Twelve-year-old Lucy Desberg is a natural problem solver. After    the local homecoming queen shows up at her family’s struggling drugstore with a    beauty disaster that Lucy helps to fix, Lucy has a long line of makeover customers for every school dance and bat mitzvah. But all the makeup tips in the world won’t help    save the pharmacy.  If only she could find a way to make the pharmacy the center of    town again—a place where people want to spend time, like in the old days. Lucy    dreams up a solution that could resuscitate the family business and help the environment, too. But will Lucy’s family stop fighting long enough to listen to a seventh-grader?
