The Very Mysterious Case of Hayley Leblanc

Top, Rainbow Shops. Leather shorts, Nonchalant. Hat, H&M. Choker, Forever 21.

It's a scorching spring day in Southern California, and Hayley LeBlanc is in the middle of a serious Main Character Moment.

It's not just her starring role on Brat TV's hit Chicken Girls (where she just wrapped her iconic turn as Harmony *sheds tear*), the fact that she's been a beloved YouTuber since she was barely in preschool or even her effortlessly cool aesthetic (hanging out in an abandoned pool, snacking on Bomb Pops, as you do).

After a year that, in her own words, has been her most important yet (“I'm a teenager now, which is crazy! she says), Hayley is leaping into what might be her biggest adventure to date: releasing her very own book.

The Hayley Mysteries, a three-part series whose first installment The Haunted Studio hits bookstores this July, takes place on a television set (where the fictionalized version of Hayley is the star, ofc) that's (gasp) haunted by ghosts.

Yes, Hayley may have accomplished so much already in her 13 years...but in so many ways, her story is really only just beginning.

For someone who grew up in the public eye (Hayley's day-to-day childhood moments were chronicled on her family's vlogging channel Bratayley from 2011 to 2019), Hayley always saw reading and writing as a way to escape into her own world.

On long summer afternoons with no homework in sight, she'd lose herself in page-turning series like Percy Jackson, Nancy Drew and The Maze Runner. “I love anything with sci-fi or psychological elements, says Hayley.
