Starting a new school is hard enough. Doing it when you don't quite know who you are? That's terrifying.
When twelve year old Charlotte arrives at her new school, she feels like everyone else already belongs to a story and every day feels like a performance she hasn't rehearsed for. Life at home has turned upside down, nothing makes sense anymore.
So she does what she's always done-she borrows confidence from the one person who seems to have it all figured out: Taylor Swift.
As Charlotte navigates friendships, mistakes, and moments she wishes she could undo, she begins to realise that being someone else is exhausting-and it never quite works. The harder she tries to fit in, the more she wonders: what if being herself is enough?
Through courage, creativity, and learning to trust her own voice, Charlotte slowly discovers that belonging doesn't come from changing who you are-it comes from embracing it. With lyrics in her head and a guitar in her hands, Charlotte navigates the sting of getting things wrong, she begins to wonder: if she isn't copying someone else's story, what would her own sound like?
Heartfelt and hopeful, this is a story about finding your voice, learning to be brave in the quietest ways, and discovering that being yourself might be the most powerful song you'll ever sing.
