What if doing the right thing meant standing alone?
Before sixth grade, ten-year-old Jade had life figured out: two best friends, familiar routines, and a world that made sense. But after her parents' divorce, everything changes-including her school. Starting at Jefferson Middle means new hallways, new faces, and social rules Jade doesn't quite understand.
Trying to fit in feels harder than she expected. Some classmates are welcoming. Others are confusing. And some friendships come with quiet pressure to change who she is. As Jade navigates shifting friendships and unspoken expectations, she begins to question where she truly belongs.
Caught between wanting to fit in and staying true to herself, Jade faces choices that test her confidence and courage. With small moments of support-and a simple challenge from her dad-Jade starts learning that real friendship isn't about blending in, but about being brave enough to stand on your own.
