About this title

Review:

"Tweens will celebrate the arrival of an intrepid heroine with plenty of sparkle and spunk to spare. Snappy prose coupled with graphic-novel styling holds appeal for savvy modern readers up-to-date with rapid-fire texting and instant messaging."--Kirkus Reviews

"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
