About

Gritty Girl is about…

eleven-year-old Megan Marigold, who is navigating the tricky waters of preteen life while carrying the weight of secrets her classmates could never imagine. Struggling to fit in, she feels uncool, awkward, and different from the other girls, preferring her live bug collection to boys and bras like the other girls.

Her challenges are magnified by her parents’ mysterious careers as CIA agents—secrets she has to keep hidden, even from her one and only friend.

Gritty Girl is an often humorous exploration of family, friendship, and the struggles of youth, wrapped in a high-stakes story of espionage, loyalty, and the power of empathy.
