"Little Fish in a Big Pond" by S. Courtney-Wines
Molly Mae has always felt comfortable and confident in her small world, but as she approaches the end of primary school, everything begins to change. With high school just around the corner, Molly faces her fears about fitting in, growing up, and finding her place in a much larger world.
In Little Fish in a Big Pond, Molly embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning that change doesn't have to mean losing herself. With the support of her family, her friends, and her own heart, she discovers that it's okay to feel small in a big world-because even in the largest ponds, every fish has its own space to shine.
