In this bighearted middle-grade debut, Martin McLean has to figure out how to find his voice as he navigates friendship, family, first crushes&;and an unexpected amount of glitter. Martin McLean has always been surrounded by people who can express themselves, but he&;s not great at speaking up unless he&;s at a Mathletes competition. Then his Tío Billy introduces him to the world of drag, inspiring Martin to create a fabulous drag queen alter ego. When Martin discovers that his first-ever drag show is the same night as an important Mathletes tournament, he realizes that he can only pull off both appearances by revealing his true self to his friends&;and channeling his inner drag superstar.
