More About This Book

Overview

Meet Mackenzie Blue, aka Zee

She has it all—smarts, talent, humor, and style. . . .

Is it enough to survive middle school?

Countdown to a 7th Grade Meltdown

1. Your BFF moves away.

2. Someone steals your diary and reveals your deepest secrets—to the entire class.

3. You have one chance to become a rock star and one chance to totally blow it. Guess what!? All three happened to me! School's a disaster already. Don't get me wrong—I love Brookdale Academy and I have a fabulous crew of friends. (At least, I think I do.) But, if I'm going to survive, I need all the help I can get!

Editorial Reviews

Kidsreads.com
“Well’s heroine is spunky and creative, an open–hearted everygirl with a love of words, art and music. Young readers will find much to inspire them in her story.”
Publishers Weekly

With a lot of exclamation points and online shorthand (glossary included for newbies), Wells begins her saga of Mackenzie (Zee) Blue Carmichael, whose main goal is surviving junior high. Her BFF has moved "ALL THE WAY to PARIS," her dad drops her off every morning in a smog-friendly SUV (the horror!), a rich and popular student is determined to make Zee's life miserable, and Zee's diary gets stolen and quoted on the whiteboard in music class. Wells throws in a lot of typical teen insecurity ("Zee felt like the newest inductee into the Geek Hall of Fame"), friendship troubles, fashion turmoil and some not-so-subtle soapboxing on "going green." Young female tweens will enjoy the IM chats and earnest lists that Zee writes, e.g., "Ways My Life Could Get Worse." Still, Wells is perhaps trying a bit too hard, with gratuitous pop culture references and frequent use of text-message lingo. As might be expected, things end well for Zee and her gang, but the characters are unlikely to linger with readers. Ages 8-12. (May)

Children's Literature
Mackenzie Blue, nicknamed "Zee," confides in her diary. She is lonely and unhappy when her best friend moves to France. When Zee loses her diary, she is devastated. She is sure it was stolen when direct quotes from her diary appear on the white board in her classroom. Zee makes several mistakes in assuming the guilt of her two best friends at school. She goes about trying to find out if they are guilty in the wrong way. In addition, Zee has a crush on a boy in her school and tries to think of ways to have him notice her. Also, Zee is flattered when a popular girl in school appears to want to be her friend, but she finds the girl is not the person she appears. The author describes Zee's experience with her classmates. Zee tries out for a singing contest, hopeful of winning. Her music teacher and brother encourage her and help her prepare for the contest, but another girl wins first place. Zee is disappointed, however she is a good loser, and plans to try again next year. Girls who enjoy reading about girls their age will especially like this book. It captures the feelings and actions of girls between eight and twelve. Boys, too, may enjoy learning how girls think and react in certain situations. Parents will approve of the clean language, morals and ethics demonstrated throughout this book. Reviewer: Jennie DeGenaro
School Library Journal
Gr 4-7–As in many other books for this audience, the protagonist’s best friend moves away; she makes a quirky new friend or two; a mean girl is the nemesis; and diary entries, lists, and IMing cut through the text. Throw in comic-book art with big-eyed characters and you have Mackenzie Blue. Zee is starting seventh grade in Brookdale Academy with Jasper, an awkward Brit she befriended that summer. She is a guitar player who is looking forward to Teen Sing, a national contest that offers its winner a recording contract. Auditions will take place in her school’s auditorium. Zee enters instrumental class expecting a famous classical teacher and finds Mr. P., a nervous rock enthusiast. Kathi, the mean girl, is mean to him. Chloe, a girl from the South who plays cello, becomes perky friend number two. So why, when Zee’s diary is lost, does she suspect her friends and not Kathi? With its pop credentials, the book will have some appeal to tweens, but it’s nothing special.–Tina Zubak, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA

    This can't be her first book !!!!

    I received copy of this book from a friend and I thought it was great! The topics are waht you find in everyday life with young people. I really like that fact that it's not over the top, as far as things that our young people don't need any more exposure to. This book is just enough.. I hope there will be more. From what I have looked up about this young lady she has a bright future in front of her and I'd love to see more of her work in books to come. So talented this really can't be the first book she wrote, I'm blown away.

    Never assume

    This is a good book if you are looking for something that you just want to read for fun. I read it in the summer while I was at sleepaway camp and when I had a chance to read I would read it and I would bury my face in it.
