The New Kid Code (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180909398)

Maya Reyes knows how to be the new kid.

New hallways. New faces. New lunch tables. New rules for surviving the first day. As a military kid, she has learned that every place comes with an expiration date, so the safest thing to do is keep her heart packed and ready to go.

This time, though, something feels different.

As Maya settles into a new school year in San Antonio, she starts to find pieces of belonging in unexpected places: a library corner, a lunch table, a careful friendship, and the quiet courage it takes to let people know the real her.

But when your life has always been shaped by goodbyes, trusting a new beginning can feel like the hardest code to crack.

The New Kid Code is a heartfelt middle grade novel for readers ages 9-12 who enjoy realistic school stories about friendship, military family life, starting over, and finding where you belong.
