Girl, Crushed by Maggie Horne follows Noah Frye, who just had the Best Summer Ever. She enjoyed an epic time at science camp and is excited that her new camp friend Jessa will soon be attending Noah's school. Noah eagerly anticipates introducing Jessa to her best friends, Zoey and Luna, once classes begin.

However, when the friends reunite after their summer apart, everything has changed. Zoey and Luna have discovered boys, which seems to be their sole topic of conversation. Suddenly, Noah feels like the odd one out, particularly because she hasn't even considered boys in that way.

When caught in a lie about having her own crush, Noah determines to do whatever it takes to fit back in with her friends.

A hilarious and heartwarming queer contemporary middle-grade story about friendship, first crushes, and self-discovery.
