BIO ~ Cheryl DaVeiga, Author
Best Friends: Book One of the Orion Sessions
Cheryl DaVeiga grew up in New Jersey and graduated from the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she now lives after building her career in the New York/New Jersey area. She spent years in accounting, becoming a partner at a national firm, before returning to her first love—music. Today, she is an award-winning author and ASCAP award- winning songwriter, with seven acclaimed children’s books. Her middle-grade series, The Orion Sessions, blends music and storytelling about finding your voice.
At thirteen, Orion Casey has stopped singing and it’s not because she stopped loving it.
After the girls everyone follows start talking about her instead of to her, she’s finished performing for anyone. Then the messages start. Anonymous. Encouraging. A little too perfectly timed.
Someone’s been watching her, really seeing her, and part of Orion can’t help hoping it’s the one person she wishes would notice her back. The texts give her a confidence she didn’t know she had enough to discover songwriting and begin finding a new way back to music.
But as friendships shift and secrets surface, Orion starts to question everything: when the way you see yourself keeps changing based on who’s looking at you, how do you figure out who you really are?
Best Friends launches The Orion Sessions, a contemporary middle-grade series about friendship, identity, and learning what it means to sing—and live—for yourself.
