Halfway Between a Girl and a Dream

By Shanaya Agrawal

Halfway Between a Girl and a Dream is a heartwarming coming-of-age journal written by 13-year-old Shanaya Agrawal - a vibrant voice from Gen Z who captures what it really feels like to grow up in today's world.

Set across one transformative summer, Shanaya reflects on her first teenage experiences: her almost-solo trip, the sting of not making the basketball team, changing friendships, body image worries, first crushes, secret ambitions, and the messy magic of family. Each chapter focuses on one emotion - fear, joy, failure, self-doubt, confidence, or love - and together, they form a mosaic of what girlhood really looks like behind the filters.

This isn't a book about being perfect. It's a book about being real.
