Four girls who help a schoolmate adjust to a new life find themselves learning much more than they expected in Keza Ruzima’s latest teenage novel. Based upon her own life experiences, Keza creates a uniquely inspiring story that focuses on friendship, the spirit of giving and the ability to make a difference. 

Danielle, Vanessa, Madison and Alexandra have been neighbors and best friends since their first year of school. Their lives -- as well as their perception of the world – are changed when they meet Abby, a new girl in school from another country. 

As they begin learning about children around the world who don’t have bicycles, community parks or even enough food to eat, the girls decide to come up with a plan to help these kids. But what can a group of girls from a small town do? Would they be able to handle such a big responsibility? 

A wonderfully inspiring story filled with hope and fueled by possibilities, Girl Power: The Adventures of a Teenage Circle shows both teens and adults that you really can make a difference!
