Maatla Marie writes coming-of-age fiction centered on friendship, found family, freedom, and difficult choices. Her debut novel, Crime Kids, introduces Maya, Jax, Riley, Noah, and Tessa, five teenagers whose bond transforms a summer of running away into an unforgettable adventure. Through heartfelt stories and memorable characters, Maatla explores what it means to belong, to grow, and to find home in the people who choose to stay.
"Nobody gets left behind." ✨
I personally think Option 3 fits Crime Kids and the ElevenReader audience the best.
