A review by notinjersey
From the Desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks

4.0

My 11 year old read this book and kept saying how much he liked it, so when he finished, it was my turn! As a middle grade book, I think this one explained quite well the problem of wrongful convictions. I liked the baking aspects of the story and how determined Zoe was. It seems to be a plot point in middle grade books that kids run off somewhere without telling their parents, and as a parent, I don’t love seeing that! I am glad that Simon enjoyed this book – he says it’s his favorite of the year so far!
