Zee, short for Mackenzie is now a seventh grader. And she's rockin' it. She's making good friends with Jasper and Chloe, she has a cool music/band class. Everything's perfect until somebody steals Zee's diary, and blabs to the whole school about her secrets. Zee, now lost in desperation is accusing her new friends... HOW will Zee regain herself again? AND find her diary? ( )

Zee loses her diary and her secrets are revealed to the whole class!
This book is good for mostly girls but boys can read it too even though there is mainly girly things. ( )

I was instantly attracted to MacKenzie Blue because the format includes illustrations (they are so sleek and cute!), journal entries, instant messages etc. I think these sort of things really help reluctant readers when taking on a book, but they are also fun for us that enjoy graphic novel elements and the like!

MacKenzie or as she calls herself Zee is a sweet and spunky little girl! Even though her best friend now lives in Paris she’s already made herself some new friends and takes on the new school year at the Upper School (her first year).

MacKenzie’s problems are pretty typical, new school, new friends, mean girls and a mystery (i love mysteries!) but it’s a fun story that’s sure to be the start of a cute new series! ( )

Zee is a great character with all the worries attached to your typical 7th grader and then some. Between her best friend moving away last year, and the Teen Sing competition, she doesn't need anything new popping up. Oh wait, someone stole her diary! GASP!

Yes, yes I did finish this book in a blurring whirl of speed, but honestly...it was good! A middle-grade fiction novel by design there is hardly a person that can't take something away from this book. Whether it's the over all message of being true to yourself and showing the world the colors that make up you, or the definitely "green" push seen in both the school design and class projects, there's something for everyone.

The Little Bookworm

This was an extremely cute book. It was so fun and lively and Zee was an awesome girl! She has great friend and is very talented and very enthusiastic so that was fun. The main plot is about Zee losing her diary but the subplot is about a music competition. Zee writes her own music and she doesn't know what to do when her diary is stolen. There is a lot of "be yourselfs" and "doing your bests" in this book (without being preachy) and I think it is a great book for middle graders. I can see this on the Disney Channel or ABC Family. ( )
