Politics is a childish game -- one that teen Sammy never knew could destroy him.

The New We is a gripping young adult fiction novel about identity, power, and what it costs to stand alone.

Sammy Iris knows exactly who he is: a manicure-flashing, soccer-playing teen who refuses to fit neatly into anyone's box. But being unapologetically himself in small-town Pennsylvania comes at a price -- especially when his best friend Cleo joins a school club led by Sammy's archenemy, Benjamin, an alpha-boy determined to "fix" their school's morals.

Feeling betrayed and pushed to the margins, Sammy fights back the only way he knows how -- by starting a rival club with Benjamin's ex. What begins as an act of rebellion quickly escalates into a high-stakes battle, making The New We one of today's most relevant young adult adventure stories grounded in real-world themes.

As tensions rise, money disappears, and the school newspaper becomes a weapon, Sammy must navigate friendships, identity, and power in this emotionally charged coming-of-age story. The line between truth and loyalty blurs, and every choice carries consequences.

At its core, The New We explores belonging, courage, and self-expression, making it a powerful addition to must read literature for teens. This novel challenges readers to consider what it really means to do the right thing when the world demands conformity.

Perfect for fans of contemporary YA novels about identity, school politics, friendship, and standing up for who you are.
The New We asks one timeless question: What if doing the right thing means standing alone?
