Kloe's New Start by K.M. Selvidge is a children's story about Kloe the cat. Kloe is about to start a new school, and she's excited beyond belief. Even more so when her best friends Terry Turkey and Ginger Goat talk her into trying out for the cheerleading squad and she makes the grade. But her brother Wreny gets into a fight and is sent home on the first day, and then flies into a rage for no reason with her. The next day, word has gone around that she is Wreny's sister and people turn their backs on her. Can she show them that she's more than that? That she's her own person? Or will she always be treated as an outcast and seen as a troublemaker? And what's really wrong with Wreny?
Kloe's New Start by K.M. Selvidge is a fun story with plenty of amazing illustrations by Kateryna Meleschuk. All the characters are animals, and this heartwarming tale is more than just a story. It teaches kids about making friends and joining in, especially at a new school. It covers subjects like mental health, learning to be your own person, and not allowing others to label you or treat you in a certain way because of something someone else has done. The characters are wonderful, well-developed with their own personalities and the illustrations help bring this story to life. The struggles the characters go through are very real, and this book will teach kids a lot of new coping skills. This is perfect for young children and adults alike; these struggles aren't just for kids as the same things happen all through adult life, too.
