Das neue Madchen Madelyn McCollough

Esra is the new girl at the high school in town. She makes new friends easily, so it's not a surprise when she starts hanging out with a boy named Lukas. Like Lukas and many of the students at the school, Esra is involved in sports, which is just one of the ways she and Lukas connect. But issues arise with their newfound friendship (romance?) with Lukas when their differences are highlighted by the adults in their lives.

How do the teens navigate their lives given the demands of their parents and society?

This book is intended as a reader for students learning German. While the story has a plot similar to the classic story of Romeo and Juliet or Tony and Maria, the vocabulary and grammar are simple and comprehensible even for those whose German is at the novice level.
