Need a cozy fall read? A palate cleanser from a month full of thrillers? Legacy on the Wall even includes a fall craft night scene — plus art, friendship, coffee shops, boardwalks, and small-town Gulf Coast charm. Fifteen-year-old artist Isla Reyes has grown up with the same friends, familiar streets, and traditions in her small Florida Gulf Coast town. Then, a newly merged high school brings unexpected people into her close-knit circle, changing sophomore year in ways she didn’t expect. When Mangrove Point announces a competition to design the town’s final mural panel, Isla is determined to leave her mark on the place she has always called home. But as friendships shift and new connections grow, she begins to realize that making room for something new doesn’t have to mean losing everything that came before. Legacy on the Wall is a hopeful, friendship-first YA contemporary filled with art, music, coffee shops, boardwalks, found-family energy, realistic teenagers making teenage decisions, and a light slow-burn romantic thread. Ages 12+ with no spice.
