It Was JUST One Text (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781971734088)

One angry text. One wrong chat. One mistake the entire eighth grade gets to read.

Mia only meant to text one friend.

After a long day of rumors, frustration, and drama involving her friend Ava and the boy everyone seems to notice, Mia sends one private rant she immediately regrets.

Except it doesn't go to one person.

It goes to PANTHER PRIDE 8TH GRADE COMMUNITY-the school group chat used by the entire eighth grade.

Teachers included.

By the next morning, screenshots are everywhere. Friends start choosing sides. Rumors spread faster than the truth. And one mistake Mia wishes she could take back turns an ordinary week into a social disaster she can't escape.

As the fallout grows, Mia has to figure out who her real friends are, how much damage one message can do, and whether honesty can fix what panic made worse.

It Was Just One Text is a clean, fast-paced middle school story about friendship, embarrassment, rumors, consequences, and surviving the kind of moment every kid fears-and every parent understands.
