Zoey Zinevich has 198 days to go until the start of sixth grade. But there’s just one problem: She must transform herself from “geek” to “chic” to land a spot at the right lunch table. A fairy godmother might be the answer to Zoey’s problem—or maybe not. This funny tween novel from Margie Palatini—fully illustrated by the author—captures a fresh look at the everyday challenges of being almost eleven.
