Chapter Book for Ages 8-12. A heartwarming story about courage, friendship, and finding your place
Ten-year-old Molly Jo Daisy thought she had it all: a best friend, a loving family, and a world she understood. But when her family moves over 1,000 miles to Maple River, Maine, Molly Jo becomes the new kid at school-and suddenly everything feels strange and overwhelming.
While her younger brother adjusts easily, Molly Jo struggles to make friends and fit in. That is, until she discovers a secret book, meets quirky neighbors (and their pet giraffe ), and befriends Anna Lin, another new kid. Through laughter, challenges, and wisdom from her Grandma, Molly Jo learns resilience, positive affirmations, and the joys and responsibilities of being the new kid.
Perfect for kids navigating friendship, school changes, and moving to a new town, this middle-grade chapter book blends humor, heart, and life lessons. Adults will love the gentle humor and family insights, too.
