"Brave New Girl" is a the first novel by Louisa Luna. It was published by MTV Books in early 2001. The book was written by Luna when she was at New York University.

The novel tracks the adolescent angst of the protagonist, Doreen Severna, who is comparable to the character Holden Caulfield from "The Catcher in the Rye". The story takes place in Pasadena, California, the summer beforeDoreen's freshman year in high school.

Doreen is a fourteen year old outcast with only one friend, the equally marginalized Ted. The two share an intense love of music, (mainly The Pixies) and knowledge of what it's like to be alienated.

The novel's title is a play on Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" — a title which is itself drawn from William Shakespeare's "The Tempest", act V, scene I.
