Those Kids from Fawn Creek by Erin Entrada Kelly

4.0

The twelve kids in the seventh grade at Fawn Creek (aka Yawn Creek) K-12 have been together all their lives so when a new student arrives, with exotic clothes and glorious hair, the other seventh graders do not know what to think. Orchid Mason arrives from Paris, France, and has so many interesting stories to share with her new classmates but they are also skeptical about her. Kelly has captured the middle-school mindset with relatable situations and both likable and unlikable characters. This story of friendship, authenticity, and belonging will be a hit with middle-grade readers.
