New Kid meets The Baby-sitters Club in this graphic novel series opener about the Curlfriends, four inseparable Black girls who show us the meaning of true friendship—and being your true self.
Charlie has a foolproof plan for the first day at her new middle school. Even though she’s used to starting over as the new kid—thanks to her military family’s constant moving—making friends has never been easy for her. But this time, her first impression needs to last, since this is where her family plans to settle for good.
So she’s hiding any interests that may seem “babyish,” updating her look, and doing her best to leave her shyness behind her…but is erasing the real Charlie the best way to make friends?
When not everything goes exactly to plan, like, AT ALL, Charlie is ready to give up on making new friendships. Then she meets the Curlfriends, a group of Black girls who couldn’t be more different from each other, and learns that maybe there is a place for Charlie to be her true self after all.
Sharee Miller’s graphic novel debut starts off an exciting contemporary series featuring four Black girls who each have a unique story, and each learn lessons about friendship, family, and being their true selves.

Purchased 2 of these books for my daughter and her friend, both military families. They both enjoyed (8 and 9yr olds) the books. I read along with my 9 yr old and it was a cute story with a great message. I definitely recommend.

OK, this book is a must read for kids and tweens. It shows the relatable and scary feelings of being a new kid in town. This book give astonishing perspective to how your living your lives. With themes throughout the book, such as, finding your true friends and NOT always relying on the first impression, a rich and loving vibe is given from this sweet graphic novel. As many important messages are out there, this book focuses on one of the most important: be yourself.

I have to tell you this is awesome. What a lovely new graphic novel series about moving home, starting a new school, making friends, finding your confidence to just be you. Charlie has lived the life of a ‘pad brat’… huh? you might think! You’d be forgiven. This terminology isn’t in the book, it’s terminology we use over here in the UK to describe a child of an armed forces parent who ends up endlessly moving house, moving schools in and out of many different countries sometimes. I’m a Royal Marines Commando ‘pad brat’. I had lived in more than 20 houses before I’d left home at 17. Geeezzzzzzz…. So, Charlie – I FEEL YOUR PAIN GIRL!! As military personnel have to retire (mostly) by the age of 45 or 50 years old, or may leave the service early to change careers, Charlie had been used to it being just her and her mummy at home. Adjusting to this full-time male, daddy presence for the first time isn’t easy at all. He seems a good guy, but it’s just not easy for a tween to suddenly have a different type of negotiator to deal with!! Starting a new school is such a relatable event in any child’s life – looking in magazines at what’s cool to wear, how to style hair, not to appear too babyish for fear of what others might think. What’s adorable is that Charlie finds a really gorgeous group of friends quite soon into her rather klutzy arrival… or should I say, they find her… but as the story progresses the reader joins Charlie and her friends as they get to know each other and gradually Charlie lets her guard down. I loved reading Curlfriends!! This story’ll have you giggle, cringe and will often give you warm hugs. Tween girls+ will love this!! Can’t wait for book 2!!
