Book Review: Lux - The New Girl by Ashley Woodfolk

Flyy Girls series: Lux – The New Girl

by Ashley Woodfolk (YA Woodfolk)

 

The daring and adventurous Flyy Girls attend the Augusta Savage School of the Arts in Harlem. Lux – The New Girl is the first book in a series of four. It tells the story of a young woman who has been expelled from several different schools and the Savage School of the Arts is her last chance before her father sends her to military school. She’s prone to angry outbursts and fighting, but this time she wants things to be different. Will she be able to keep her secrets as she tries to convince the crew that she fits in?

 

Lux – The New Girl was an enjoyable and quick read. The Augusta Savage School of the Arts (the main backdrop of the stories) is attended by a cast of interesting students who are depicted with diverse interests and families. I’m looking forward to reading Micah the Good Girl and the other books in the series.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Denim Diaries by Darien Lee (and others), or The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.]
