Meet Zoey
She's eleven. Well, almost eleven. Okayhalfway to eleven. And Zoey's got a few problems: She has the lowest possible score on the coolability meter, a bad hair situation, and growing earlobes. What Zoey needs is a fairy godmother who can give her a very chic makeover and a seat at the primo lunch table. Will Zoey be able to pull it all off? Tune in!
Margie Palatini is the author of many outrageously funny books for children, including Piggie Pie!, illustrated by Howard Fine; Moosetache, Mooseltoe, and the Bad Boys series, all illustrated by Henry Cole; The Cheese, illustrated by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher; No Biting, Louise, illustrated by Matthew Reinhart; and Gorgonzola, illustrated by Tim Bowers. She lives with her family in New Jersey.
“Tweens will celebrate the arrival of an intrepid heroine with plenty of sparkle and spunk to spare. Snappy prose coupled with graphic–novel styling holds appeal for savvy modern readers up–to–date with rapid–fire texting and instant messaging.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“The format will attract reluctant readers, and the story will please girls who cultivate offbeat interests with as much enthusiasm and zaniness as Zoey.”
-School Library Journal
