"Noah Frye Gets Crushed is pug-sitively adorable! Readers will totally fall for this sweet, charming story about first crushes, navigating friendships, and figuring yourself out." -- Michael Leali, award-winning author of The Civil War of Amos Abernathy and Matteo "The kids of Middletown are kind, funny, smart, and full of dishy conversation. Noah wants to keep life as-is so badly, she's clueless to the changes in her own heart. If you've ever felt completely lost during crush convos, or have a friend who is, this book is perfect for you!" -- Rachel Elliott, author-illustrator of The Real Riley Mayes "Hilarious and heartwarming all at once, Noah Frye is one of the best explorations I've read of the changes that happen in middle-grade friendships and that all-too-relatable feeling that everyone else is growing up without you. Readers are going to fall head over heels for Noah and her friends." -- Lin Thompson, author of The Best Liars in Riverview and The House That Whispers "With heart, humor, and pitch-perfect characters, NOAH FRYE GETS CRUSHED shows why crushes can be, well, crushing! Maggie Horne shows care and thoughtfulness in portraying the social turmoil of middle school--and how extra-challenging it can be when you don't fit the mold. This is the queer coming-of-age story I wish I'd had, and that the world needs." -- Sarah Kapit, award-winning author of Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen "Noah Frye Gets Crushed is exactly the book I wish I'd had in seventh grade: a sweet, funny, detailed investigation of what to do when friendships change, romance looms, and the people you turn out to like are a real surprise.

Maggie Horne has crushed it again!" -- Will Taylor, award-winning author of The Language of Seabirds "Sweet and sincere." -- Kirkus Reviews "A fun and affirming coming-out story with relatable characters." -- School Library Journal.
