Series: Sew Zoey
Description: "Zoey's friend Libby is preparing for her Bat Mitzvah, and Zoey, Priti, and Kate are really excited for the big party. Libby asks Zoey to make her dress, and loves the design--but her mom thinks it's inappropriate. Can Zoey find a way to compromise while still giving Libby her dream dress? Zoey is stuck in the middle in other ways, too: Her brother Marcus's relationship with Allie is on the rocks. Does Zoey's loyalty to her brother mean that she has to end her friendship with Allie? And when Zoey sees something shocking at the bat mitzvah party, she's not so sure she wants to be Allie's friend at all" --
Brief description: 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.
Review Quotes: "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"
