"An enviable hero and appealing wish fulfillment that's spiced with teen-friendship drama."
--Kirkus Reviews
Thirteen-year-old Mackenzie Blue Carmichael, aka "Zee," has never eaten fish 'n' chips, never slept away from home longer than a few nights, and knows nothing about London. But when her family relocates for her dad's new job, Zee has to leave her old life in California behind for a new one in England.
Now at her new boarding school, The Hollows Creative Arts Academy, Zee hopes to find new friends and jumpstart her music career. But things aren't so easy. Some classes are more difficult than expected, and between a chilly roommate, a BFF who's gone MIA, and distractions from the hottest--and poshest--student in her grade, Zee has to wonder: will she ever find her place in London?

"In this character-driven series starter spun off from the Mackenzie Blue series, California girl Mackenzie 'Zee' Blue Carmichael and her family are moving to London, and red-haired, olive-skinned Zee is headed to year nine at an English boarding school. Tina Wells's slice-of-life plotting, told in text message exchanges and a sometimes formal voice, focuses on character introductions, holding some arcs' wrap-ups for the next installment."
