Featured in Children's Book Council's July 2022 Hot off the Press
list!
"The second book in the [Zee Files] series continues to follow
Mackenzie (Zee) Blue Carmichael through her life in her new school, the
Hollows. She has been so stressed with her academics, new country, new
home, new school, new friends, and the upcoming festival performance
that her teacher reached out to her father and Zee has started seeing a
counselor at school. . . [Zee] has a few successes toward the end. . .
Scattered illustrations throughout the book are well designed and
carried out, I especially enjoy how emotive they are."
--Youth Services Book Review
"In this second installment of the Zee Files, a spinoff of the Mackenzie
Blue series, Zee is preparing a song for her school's art festival. Year
nine has proven to be difficult as she adjusts to her new life in the
U.K. and being the new student at a posh British boarding school. Zee's
classmates proffer coping tips: meditation, yoga, affirmations. Then Zee
begins to see a therapist who encourages journaling. . . Zee is
definitely a girl of the 21st century."
--Kirkus Reviews
The crew can't stop talking about the school's biggest event and talent
show of the year, the Creative Arts Festival. But while Zee's excited to
see her friends and schoolmates perform, she's not sure if she'll ever
be ready for the stage. She's never performed in front of so many people
before, or without her bandmates--or in England, no less!
With the Festival slowly approaching, classes also get harder while
things with her friends and family become more complicated. Will Zee be
able to pull it all together in time?
