Longcuts

Ella's life has just turned upside down. Her parents got divorced, and her dad moved to Ohio with his new love, Cynthia. Meanwhile, Ella's mom landed her dream job teaching at a law school-only problem is, it's in the boonies. They move next door to Grace Childs, the queen (and president) of the Snow Ridge sophomore class-gorgeous, popular, rich-you name it, she is it. Mousy gymnast Ella knows she's not one of "Them," but can't resist Grace's charity. Ella soon makes the cheer team-but Grace, shockingly, doesn't. And that's when Ella's life begins to go downhill. Grace begins to bully Ella in ways large and small. Soon, Ella firmly but gently stands up to her, and that's when Grace's passivity turns to aggression. Ella's life begins to spiral until she finds an unlikely ally in Cynthia. She's on a journey of change, seeking revenge, finding true friendships and learning to speak her truth no matter the consequences. What lengths will she go to to stay true to herself while not letting anyone push her around?
