The New Girl - book 1 in Cassandra Calin's funny, heartfelt, coming-of-age graphic novel series about moving schools with full-colour illustrations: The New Girl: a Graphic Novel

My 8 year old daughter loved this book and has read it several times. She can’t wait for the second one to be released

Brought for my granddaughter. She really liked it

I bought this book because I’ve been following Cassandra Calin’s work online for many years. The cover and snippets of illustrations that I saw online reminded me of the W.I.T.C.H comics I used to collect when I was Lia’s age (and judging by the first chapter, I think she would have definitely been a fan of!). I am not in the target demographic for this book, but it was great to get lost in a comic book in a very similar way to when I was 12-13. I would highly recommend this book, it is a visual treat and the story is engaging!

A Scholastic graphic novel. Thanks to Kiran at Scholastic for the copy. This was released on 6th June. Lia's family are leaving Romania, and the rest of their family and friends for Montreal, Canada. As if that isn't bad enough Lia's first period and the resulting pain comes while she is waiting in the airport to board the plane! Canada is difficult, the food she likes she can't find. The school teaches in French which she doesn't understand so she has to go to language lessons. And just how do you make friends when you don't understand them! She is excited by the school magazine and the chance to do illustrations and photos for that. Slowly things improve for Lia. She gets better at French, she makes friends and finds a Romanian shop to buy her favourite foods from! A good graphic squarely aimed at girls. Lots of discussion about periods and boys.

I love this book I could not take my eyes off of it I read the sample and know I hade to get it if is full of stuff that I can definitely relate to it was really engaging and interesting this is definitely one of the best TV books I have read on kindle os far . I would highly recommend it for anyone over the age of 9 there is so much more I could say about it though that is how good it is !

Great, good quality and loved it!!!!!!

I especially enjoyed this book as it follows Romanian tradition and I’m Romanian. Another thing is that this book is a MUST read.

Perfect and good for kids

Having a period was a really tough thing but five stars 🤩 it was a really good book. I have it at my school

Ha sido para regalar, pero parece ser que el libro está muy bien. Y que le gustaría tener la segunda parte (parece que hay otro). Así que: muy recomendable para jóvenes adolescentes

Echt een leuk verhaal! En de tekeningen zijn echt prachtig! Ik zag voorbij komen volume 1 dus ik ben benieuwd of er een vervolg gaat komen. Zeker een aanrader!

Amazing book- both my daughters loved it (12 and 15). Definitely give it a try if you have bored tweens at home!
