<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Spending her final days of summer vacation enjoying beach trips, concerts, and sewing projects, Zoey works on a surprise for her brother's rock band while struggling with her friends' problems, missing fabric swatches, and a surprise visitor.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>As the summer ends, Zoey thinks something's fishy--so she's making waves! Includes "Sew Zoey" blog posts and fashion illustrations.</b> <p/>In the eighth book of the Sew Zoey series, for Zoey Webber, the end of summer means beach trips, concerts, and lots of time to sew. She's making clothes for her friend Libby's little sister, pillows for her friend Priti's new bedroom, and a surprise for her brother's rock band. It all seems to be going swimmingly, but under the surface, things are getting rough. Libby is frustrated that her little sister won't leave her alone, Priti is struggling with getting a great new bedroom for a not-so-great reason, and Zoey hurts people's feelings when she tries to figure out why her fabric swatches keep disappearing. Then someone unexpected shows up at Zoey's front door...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An aspiring fashion designer is the affable heroine of this first book in the Sew Zoey series. . . . In a smoothly written story of overcoming challenges with ingenuity and style, Taylor shows a knack for characterization and dialogue, and her detailed descriptions of Zoey's designs will entice young fashionistas.-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>Most novels about fashion end up being more about little divas than about the clothing; this is an exception. This story celebrates the rewards of personal creativity and risks of self-expression. . . . This book will appeal to a middle-grade crowd that isn't into vampires and dystopias, as well as to those who create art with their hands.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>The characters are enjoyable and well developed, and the plot is humorous and entertaining. The black-and-white drawings that open each chapter add a bit of fashion flair. With a touching ending that will leave readers with a warm, fuzzy feeling, this novel will appeal to young fashionistas.-- "School Library Journal"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chloe Taylor learned to sew when she was a little girl. She loved watching her Grandmother Louise turn a scrap of blue fabric into a simple-but-fabulous dress, nightgown, or even a bathing suit in an instant. It was magical! Now that she's grown up, she still loves fashion: It's like art that you can wear. Chloe has written more than thirty books for children and lives, writes, and window shops in New York City. <p/>Nancy Zhang is an illustrator and an art and fashion lover with a passion for all beautiful things.
