Cute for the age-group in which it is intended. Would be a fun series with Zoey writing the blog for U GRL. Could be sort of like a Diary of a Wimpy kid...

Light and fluffy book about Zoey who desperately wants to be friends with the most popular girls in the school. Unfortunately, Zoey is a bit of a nerd. She knows everything about the US presidents and her fashion sense is quirky at best. When a magaine comes for a fashion shoot, Zoey's life takes a turn for the wierd.
Book is written as a collection of Zoey's thoughts, notes, pictures and script format. While this is aimed at struggling readers, the scattered nature of the narative may make this novel too challeging.

Zoe is almost 11 and eager for the one thing that can save her from social disaster as she prepares to enter 6th grade--a fairy godmother. Zoe's story is enriched by illustrations, video stills, crumpled post-it notes, and some excellent fancy text. Female fans the Wimpy Kid series will enjoy Zoe's journey from zero to (maybe) hero.

A book that actually makes me think it was written by a 10 year old. One with a lot of energy and trouble focusing her thoughts. It was a little frustrating to read at first. She seemed to bounce all over the place. But once I got into it, that didn't bother me anymore.
The format is the odd thing about this book. It's sort of like a journal, in that there's different fonts at different points. Big cursive, etc. And then there's cartoons and drawings. And sometimes it even delves into screenplay format.
The story is Zoey wanting to become cool before sixth grade. Given that she likes catching frogs, and knows a ton of things about the US presidents, her chances seem slim.
This is a really good book for tweens or younger.
