The New Girl (Chicken Soup Series)
by Ronvé O’Daniel, Jevares C. Myrick

Lexi has just transferred into a new high school and is hoping to make a fresh start.

She starts to make friends and is thriving in the new environment.

Chloe, the leader of one of the most elite social groups, invites Lexi to join them and things are looking up.

Then she meets Jackson, who is different, and in order to stay in her group she has to confront racism and bullying.

Ultimately, she has to choose between her new friends and doing what’s right at a huge personal cost.

This show comes with a teaching guide that will highlight relevant themes from the story and encourage students to closely examine their own personal views on race and bullying.

The Chicken Soup For the Soul Musical Series is a growing collection of mini-musicals based on real stories with a positive message.

The story that is the basis for this show was selected from the Chicken Soup catalogue of over 25,000 stories and written specifically for teens by an award-winning creative team.
