New Deal: BECOMING BRIGITTA by Kalena Miller

Alison Romig at Delacorte Press has acquired BECOMING BRIGITTA a middle-grade novel, by Kalena Miller, author of THE NIGHT WHEN NO ONE HAD SEX forthcoming this September.

BECOMING BRIGITTA is a contemporary coming of age story that explores the complexities of middle school friendships, family dynamics, the importance of theatre, and the realities of being a tween with OCD.

“I fell in love with the main character, Shannon, and her mom and grandma – the dynamics of these three incredible females navigating life together completely captured me,” said Stacey Kondla, Miller’s agent at The Rights Factory. “And the bonus of musical theatre, friendship problems, and the awkward hilarity of being a middle schooler is magic.”
