“The Other New Girl” by LB Gschwandtner stars Susannah Greenwood, a 15-year-old who is resistant when her parents decide to ship her off to a Quaker boarding school as she’s about to start 10th grade. Upon arrival, she is quickly accepted into a clique of popular girls, while the “other” new girl, Moll, gets lost in the background. Where Susannah is sassy and clever, Moll is fearful and insecure. Yet Susannah finds that the two are some kind of kindred spirits. While they never develop an inseparable bond, Susannah takes it upon herself to take Moll under her wing when possible and help the skittish young girl to become more confident in herself and her abilities.
