The Reinvention Experiment

One girl. One year. One very bad hypothesis.

Nyla Carter has a plan for freshman year: walk into Westbrook High in the jacket she designed herself, finally be known as Nyla—not star wide receiver Micah Carter’s little sister—and maybe, just maybe, get her brother’s best friend to notice she exists.

By lunch on day one, the plan is in pieces.

So when her biology teacher assigns a year-long experiment, Nyla picks the one subject she’s sure needs work: herself. New hair. New clothes. No glasses. A seat at the popular table. One variable at a time.

The data looks great—at first. But between two houses, three brothers, a best friend she’s leaving behind, and her dad’s dog tag that she swore she’d never take off, Nyla is about to learn that some hypotheses are meant to be proven wrong.

Funny, heartfelt, and told through Nyla’s journal entries, The Reinvention Experiment is a story about blended families, real friendship, and discovering that the girl you already are is the one worth being.

Perfect for readers ages 12 and up.
