What is Curlfriends: New in Town about?

Charlie, accustomed to frequent moves due to her military family, is determined to make a lasting impression at her new middle school. She conceals her 'babyish' interests and updates her look to fit in. However, when her plans go awry, she considers giving up on making new friends. Then she meets the Curlfriends—a diverse group of Black girls—and realises that being her true self is the best way to form genuine friendships.
