(4) YA Phoebe's cousin Leonard sports rainbow sneakers and offers makeover tips at Phoebe's mom's salon. Not everyone appreciates Leonard's individuality; he's bullied by a local thug and one day disappears. Characters rich with personality at the beginning are, in the end, overwhelmed by the book's too many big messages.
