Mill Hollow Girls Series

 The town council is about to tear out Bubble Gum Park—and Pauline Mercer refuses to let it happen.
In  the small town of Mill Hollow, the scruffy little park has been a  gathering place for generations of kids. But when plans are announced to  replace it, Pauline and her high school friends Missy and Dawn decide  to fight back.
What starts as a simple protest quickly turns into a  full-blown campaign. Using social media, homemade videos, and sheer  determination, the three girls take on town politics, school rules, and  skeptical adults who think teenagers should stay quiet.
As their  movement grows, Pauline, Missy, and Dawn discover that standing up for  what you believe in isn’t easy—especially when no one expects teen girls  to make a difference.
But they’re about to prove that young voices can be powerful.
Three Girls Fight for Their Park is a coming-of-age young adult novel about friendship, courage, and  activism in a small-town high school—perfect for readers who love  stories about strong teen girls, community, and standing up for what  matters. 

Missy Bonds is a high school senior in Mill Hollow who’s used  to speaking her mind. But when problems in her town—animal protection,  student safety, and being heard—keep getting ignored, she makes a  decision no one expects:

She runs for mayor.

What  starts as a bold idea quickly becomes a real campaign. Between school,  friendships, and facing experienced opponents, Missy must prove she’s  more than just “a kid with an idea.”

With the help of  her friends Pauline and Dawn, Missy discovers that leadership isn’t  about having all the answers—it’s about stepping up when it matters  most.

A coming-of-age story about friendship, courage, and finding your voice, A High Schooler Runs for Mayor shows that sometimes the person who can make a difference… is the one willing to try.

Our Mill Hollow girls are about to graduate from Chester A. Arthur High School. After years of seeing each other every day, they’re heading in different directions—Pauline to pursue journalism at Ball State University, Dawn to study animal husbandry at Montana State University, and Missy to Northwestern University for a pre-law program.

But before they go their separate ways, they have one more plan: a final adventure together.

When Pauline’s dad rents an RV, the girls set off on a cross-country road trip to Dawn’s grandmother’s ranch in Montana. Along the way, they encounter new places, unexpected challenges, and moments that will stay with them long after the journey ends.

At Grandma Foster’s ranch, the adventure continues—bringing new experiences, deeper bonds, and the quiet realization that everything is about to change.

Follow the girls as they take their first steps beyond Mill Hollow—and toward whatever comes next.
