Geek Chic: The Zoey Zone

A fifth grader desperate to be cool before sixth grade learns a valuable lesson in this Cinderella story for kids. "Tweens will celebrate the arrival of an intrepid heroine with plenty of sparkle and spunk to spare." —Kirkus Reviews Meet Zoey. She's eleven. Well, almost eleven. Okay—halfway to eleven. And Zoeey's got a few problems: She has the lowest possible score on the coolability meter, a bad hair situation, and growing earlobes. What Zooey needs is a fairy godmother who can give her a very chic makeover and a seat at the primo lunch table. Will Zooey be able to pull it all off? Tune in! "[Zoey's] brisk, hilarious commentary and confessions will draw tweens into the contemporary Cinderella story." —Booklist "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
