𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬: 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧
Charlie has a foolproof plan for the first day at her new middle school. Even though she's used to starting over as the new kid—thanks to her military family's constant moving—making friends has never been easy for her. But this time, her first impression needs to last, since this is where her family plans to settle for good.
So she's hiding any interests that may seem “babyish,” updating her look, and doing her best to leave her shyness behind her...but is erasing the real Charlie the best way to make friends?
When not everything goes exactly to plan, like, AT ALL, Charlie is ready to give up on making new friendships. Then she meets the Curlfriends, a group of Black girls who couldn't be more different from each other, and learns that maybe there is a place for Charlie to be her true self after all.

Sscarlet's Web Bookstore is a Black Woman independently owned, online-based bookstore, founded in August 2020 in Brooklyn, NY.
Their owner has always loved reading books and obtaining knowledge of all kinds but struggled to find books written by authors of color front and center in one central location. She wanted to create a space that celebrated beauty, creativity, and greatness in written form, so Sscarlet’s Web Bookstore was born.
Their mission is to offer books from well-known and unknown authors alike that will allow you to learn, love, laugh, and cry, sometimes at the same time.
