Book
Goth Girl, queen of the universe / Lindsay S. Zrull.
Jessica has been bounced between foster homes since the age of seven. Most of the kids at her new Michigan high school think she's a witch, because, you know, goth. The only one who gives her the time of day is geeky Oscar, who wants to recruit her fashion skills for his amateur cosplay group. When a woman claiming to be her biological mother barges into her DMs, there's a problem: Jess can't reunite with her mom in New York City without a bunch of paperwork and she worries her social worker will never approve the trip. But Oscar's cosplay group is aiming for that big convention in New York! As the big convention draws near, Jess will have to decide whether chasing a dream of "family" is worth risking the family she has built for herself. -- adapted from back cover

Bounced between foster homes since the age of seven, Jessica knows better than to set down roots. Most of the kids at her new Michigan high school think sheâs a witch anyway (because, you know, goth). The only one who gives her the time of day is geeky Oscar, who wants to recruit her fashion skills for his amateur cosplay group. But Jess is fine showing off her looks to her Insta fansâuntil a woman claiming to be her biological mother barges into her DMs.Jess was claimed by the state when her biomomâs mental illness made her unstable. While their relationship is far from traditional, blood ties are hard to break. Thereâs only one problem: Jess canât reunite with her mom in New York City without a bunch of paperwork and she worries her social worker will never approve the trip. Thatâs when she remembers Oscarâs cosplay group, which is aiming for that big convention in New York . . .So, Jess joins Oscarâs teamâwith every intention of using them to get to her mom. But her plan gets complicated when she discovers that, actually, cosplay is pretty great, and so is having friends. And Oscar, who Jess thought was just a shy nerd, can be as gallant and charming as the heroes he pretends to be. As the big convention draws near, Jess will have to decide whether or not chasing a dream of âfamilyâ is worth risking the family sheâs built for herself.
