Description

Inspired by the author's own immigration experience, The New Girl is a comically charming graphic novel about change and acceptance.

Lia and her family are waiting to board a flight across the Atlantic, leaving behind family, friends, and Romania―the only home Lia has ever known. But Lia's heartache is overshadowed by the discomfort of her first period. As if things weren't difficult enough! Now Lia is thrust into a world where everything is different: her home, her language, and even her body. With so many changes happening at once, Lia struggles with schoolwork, has trouble communicating with classmates, and has no idea how to manage her unpleasant periods. Will she ever feel like herself again?
