About this listen

From strangers to friends … At school, Ruby is the odd one out. Her friends Denise and Clara are each other’s BFF, so they sit together while she’s on her own. Then Safa joins the class. She’s a Syrian refugee who has just arrived in Ireland – and Ruby’s new desk mate. Safa and Ruby have very different lives. But, as the girls get to know each other, they discover they have more in common than they might think.

'Sinéad Moriarty’s The New Girl brilliantly explores the convergence of cultures, the struggles of being somewhere new and entirely different, and the beautiful lessons that listening, understanding and compassion can teach us.' (Books Ireland Magazine)
