Kestrel-is-from-new-zealand Stories

Eleven year old Kestrel is going through her goth phase. Of course, she doesn't really know what being goth means, and mostly chalks it up to "black", "skulls" and "being misunderstood". She's moody, she's sarcastic, she's that girl we all used to know. In no uncertain terms, she's... painfully cringy. Her main priority? Prove that goth kids are better than preps. But it turns out, to the surprise of no-one, that if Kestrel doesn't start doing better, she won't be allowed to go on school camp (which she's super determined to do for ~romantic~ reasons). Cue an attempt to become a better person, which brings with it a whole slew of things from new friends, new experiences and semi-unexpected new enemies.
