New Girl

by Katherine Rawson· illustrated by Robin Roraback

When Audrey starts at a new school, all she wants is to make friends. But she’s got a secret: Her family lives in a homeless shelter. Can she find a way to fit in and keep where she lives a secret?

In New Girl, the first book in the Oak Hill series, readers meet Audrey and her classmates and explore the challenges of fitting in while practicing and applying morphological knowledge with words that include the suffix -ly. This engaging upper-grade decodable blends authentic storytelling with meaningful morphology practice while strengthening vocabulary, comprehension, and background knowledge.
