The Friendship Code: Book 1: Middle School - New School, New Rules

by S A Carter

Jade was ready for middle school—just not this one. When her parents divorce, she’s uprooted from her old life and dropped into Jefferson Middle, where cliques rule and fitting in feels impossible. Torn between trying to impress the popular kids and staying true to herself, Jade makes a mistake that could cost her real friendships. But when the school’s beloved squirrel colony is threatened, Jade must find her voice—and a team of unlikely allies—to save them. Funny, heartfelt, and full of heart, Jade the Brave is a story about courage, kindness, and the power of standing up for what matters.
