What is A New School for Megan about?

It is Megan’s first day at a new city school, and everything feels strange. She is shy and nervous, so she stays very quiet and does not speak to anyone. Luckily, friendly classmates Zoe and Kylie notice that Megan needs help. They show her around, talk to her and try to make her feel welcome. As the day unfolds, Megan begins to discover that starting somewhere new can be less frightening when someone is ready to be a friend.
