Pick 6: New kids
Moving
to a new town or a new school is a classic set-up for a youth novel, and
with good reason. Finding yourself in a new situation, adjusting to new
schedules and a new peer group; these are a solid framework for
addressing personal and family issues. Here are six books published in
the last six months that feature kids who recently moved to new towns as
a primary character.
6 New books with characters new to town:
- 29 Dates by Melissa de la Cruz
- Sincerely Harriet by Sarah Winifred Searle
- Pretty in Punxsutawney by Laurie Boyle Crompton
- Skateboard Sibby by Clare O'Connor
- The Next Great Paulie Fink by Ali Benjamin
- Belly Up by Eva Darrows
