A new kid moves into Owen and Eleanor's neighborhood, and she looks about the same age as Owen and Eleanor, which is super cool. But she speaks a language that Owen and Eleanor don't recognize, she dresses differently—and even her food looks unfamiliar. Owen and Eleanor decide to keep an eye on this new kid...but they aren't expecting her to catch them spying! Owen and Eleanor Meet the New Kid is a story about welcoming strangers and loving your neighbor—and maybe even discovering a new friend in the process.

The Owen and Eleanor series follows two kids from two different families as they navigate the ups and downs of childhood. The duo learns important lessons about faith, values, and friendship.

Owen and Eleanor Move In, book one in the series, is a Junior Library Guild Selection. Junior Library Guild is a curated subscription service for libraries featuring books recommended by expert librarians for building an excellent collection.
