Zoey Zinevich has 198 days to go until the start of sixth grade. But there's just one problem: She must transform herself from "geek" to "chic" to land a spot at the right lunch table.

This funny tween novel from Margie Palatini-fully illustrated by the author-captures a fresh look at the everyday challenges of being almost eleven.
