New Girl Chronicles Book 1

When 14-year-old Maya Thompson moves from bustling Chicago to the quiet town of Willow Creek, she feels like an outsider in every sense. Starting over at a new high school, she braces for the worst—awkward classes, missed connections, and the sting of loneliness.

But everything begins to shift when she meets Brielle, a bold and big-hearted classmate who sees through Maya’s quiet exterior. With Brielle by her side, Maya starts to find her footing through laughter-filled lunches, honest conversations, and unexpected acts of courage.

Yet not everyone is welcoming. Savannah Knox, the queen bee of Willow Creek High, sees Maya as a threat and launches a campaign of subtle bullying and rumors. But instead of shrinking back, Maya learns to speak up—for herself, for her art, and for her new friendships.
