Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Lucy Desberg faces a daunting challenge: her family's pharmacy is on the brink of closure. Known for her problem-solving skills, Lucy devises a plan that could not only revive the business but also benefit the environment. However, convincing her family to trust her vision is another hurdle. As tensions rise, will Lucy's innovative idea be enough to bring everyone together and restore the pharmacy's former glory? Dive into a heartwarming tale of determination and creativity, where a young girl's dream could change everything.

From the publisher

Lisa Greenwald’s My Life in Pink & Green is the first book in a series that “successfully delivers an authentic and endearing portrait of the not-quite-teen experience” (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review). Twelve-year-old Lucy Desberg is a natural problem-solver. At her family’s struggling pharmacy, she has a line of makeover customers for every school dance and bat mitzvah. But all the makeup tips in the world won’t help save the business. If only she could find a way to make it 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? In this “warm, uplifting debut” (Booklist), readers everywhere have responded to Lucy’s independence and initiative–not to mention her great style.
