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

4.0

I didn’t realize this was a middle-grade book till I started it … that didn’t stop me because I love middle-grade books. Zoe’s story was so much fun to read. It had simple language yet dealt with mature themes still suitable for a child audience. It was interesting to see how they balanced her love for baking with her learning about the unfair justice system, seeing her thoughts on the latter to mature and see the reality of it. I loved seeing her get to know her father and try to help him out of prison.

Also love that her friendship with Trevor stayed as a friendship and became nothing more.
