Mackenzie Blue

Meet Mackenzie Blue, aka Zee She has it all-smarts, talent, humor, and style.... Is it enough to survive middle school? Countdown to a 7th Grade Meltdown 1. Your BFF moves away. 2. Someone steals your diary and reveals your deepest secrets-to the entire class. 3. You have one chance to become a rock star and one chance to totally blow it. Guess what!? All three happened to me! School's a disaster already. Don't get me wrong-I love Brookdale Academy and I have a fabulous crew of friends. (At least, I think I do. ) But, if I'm going to survive, I need all the help I can get!

Mackenzie Blue has a crush! But how can she get Landon-the cutest boy in school-to notice her? The class's new rock-and-roll musical is her chance. Reasons why our musical is going to be amazing: I could be the star! Landon could be my co-star... which means we'll hang out together. Working on the sets, props, music, script, and costumes will be tons of fun. There's so much to do, I'd better get started! Between her crush, the musical, and her friends-not to mention school work-Zee is torn in a thousand different directions. With all the real-life drama going on, will she lose sight of what's really important?

Tween readers will love following the adventures of Mackenzie "Zee" Blue. California girl Zee is an expert shopper, plays the guitar and writes songs, and makes purses and jewelry. She knows how it feels to have a huge crush. And she knows how to be a good friend and keeps in touch via texts and emails. In Friends Forever?, third in Tina Wells's delightful illustrated middle-grade series, Zee and the rest of her class from the Brookdale Academy are off on a camping trip to compete in an environmental scavenger hunt. Zee is extra psyched because her best friend, Ally, is visiting from Paris. It should be fabulous having all her friends in one place, but for some reason everyone is fighting!

As a fashionista and future rock star, California girl Mackenzie "Zee" Blue's life is busy. Zee keeps in touch with all her friends with texts, IMs, and emails-and now, Bluetopia, the coolest social networking site ever! In Mixed Messages, fourth in the illustrated middle-grade Mackenzie Blue series, Zee and her friends from Brookdale Academy launch Bluetopia, a fab social media site-which is perfect, because Zee's band, The Beans, is about to have its biggest show ever. Everyone is talking about it on Bluetopia. At least it would be perfect if a glitch in the Bluetopia system didn't threaten to ruin the show-and Zee's life! Tween fans of the Dork Diaries and Diary of a Wimpy Kid series will love the Mackenzie Blue books.

Mackenzie Blue is a star! Or she will be . . . as soon as she gets the part of an aspiring singer on a new TV pilot! But juggling auditions and the rest of her life turns out to be harder than Zee thought. Zee's friends are helping her hold everything together. But Zee doesn't like having to bail on plans-and her friends-to run to another audition. Is being a star worth it? Fans of the Dork Diaries will snap up the fifth book in this tween illustrated series about a twelve-year-old girl trying to survive middle school.
