The Plot: A new student named Maya arrives. She is wearing ragged clothes and tries to befriend the main character, Chloe. Chloe and her friends reject her. Eventually, Maya moves away. The teacher gives a lesson on how kindness is like a stone dropped in a bowl of water—it ripples out. Chloe realizes she missed her chance to be kind and has to live with that regret.
At this age, students are navigating social cliques and "in-groups." This book sparks a deep, honest conversation about the weight of our choices and the fact that we don't always get a "do-over."
