Sew Zoey

review 1: This is the first book in the Sew Zoey series by Chloe Taylor. Zoey Webber is a middle-school fashionista who dreams of designing, making and wearing her own creations. In reality, she is trapped in a world of gray uniforms, which every student at her private school must wear. Change comes in the form of a new principal, who not only eliminates the uniform rule, but promotes the idea of a fashion show fund raising event! Suddenly Zoey finds herself learning to sew in order to bring her dreams to life.This story, although a bit unrealistic in its time frame, may just inspire a new generation of sewing aficionados. It introduces correct sewing terminology, and conveys the pride and excitement of sewing (and wearing) something entirely unique. Through it all, Zoey and he... morer friends Priti and Kate stay firmly rooted in their individuality, in spite of repeated attacks from ‘mean girls’ Ivy, Bree and Shannon. There is a bit of drama when Zoey’s entry in the fashion show is sabotaged, but the ending leaves room for Zoey to have many more sewing adventures. Recommended for grades 2-4,Reviewed by: Laura Lieske, Youth Services, Vernon Area Public Library
review 2: Zoey has a passion for fashion, when her school drops the uniform requirement her creativity soars. She learns how to sew and begins to design her own one of a kind outfits, as well as write a fashion blog. Zoey is given the chance of a lifetime, the opportunity to design a dress for the school fundraiser fashion show. When plans go awry her strong spirit and the help of supportive adults leads the story to a satisfying but unpredictable ending. A perfect choice for creative girls. less
