This funny, feel-good middle-grade graphic novel about change and acceptance will be a hit with fans of Guts by Raina Telgemeier, Pizza Face by Rex Ogle and Dave Valeza, and Parachute Kids by Betty C. Tang. Goodbye, old life... 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? Inspired by the author's own immigration experience, The New Girl is a comically charming story about change and acceptance.

Wonderful!
I am a big fan of Cassandra Calin’s work, so I was really looking forward to this book. After reading it I can definitely say it was worth the excitement! I loved it! It’s about her life when she was 12, she and her family moved to Canada from Romania, and it’s about that first year or so. Her struggles with the language, fitting in, making new friends… just all about starting a new life in a new country. It’s so sweet and the art is lovely! I’m really hoping this will be a series, that there will be more books, because a few things were left open in the end. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes graphic novels, and especially to fans of Calin’s work! Buy it, you won’t regret it! 💕

Un acierto de regalo
Ha sido para regalar, pero parece ser que el libro está muy bien. Y que le gustaría tener la segunda parte (parece que hay otro). Así que: muy recomendable para jóvenes adolescentes
