About book Mackenzie Blue #3: Friends Forever? (2010)
The Mackenzie Blue books by Tina Wells are chock full of fun. Mackenzie--or Zee, as she is known to her friends--is a bubbly seventh grade student at Brookdale Academy. Her best friend Ally has moved to France, but many surprises are in store for Zee as makes new friends and hones her skills as a singer-songwriter and guitarist.Soon after readers first meet Zee, she loses her diary on the first day of school. When her secrets begin showing up on her classroom's white board as she prepares to compete in the Teen Sing contest, she struggles with the fact that someone--perhaps even a classmate she considers a friend--may have stolen it. In the hybrid style popularized by Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid and other books for independent readers that blend traditional prose with visual elements, the pages of these books are enhanced with Zee's handwritten diary entries, lists, Instant Message conversations, and other illustrations. Zee's concerns about her friendships, crushes, and changing body are written by Wells with sensitivity and humor, and the conservationist actions Zee and her friends take throughout the books are thoughtful additions that add an element of environmentalism into the mix.HarperCollins recommends this series to readers ages 8-12. I think Zee's experiences as a junior high student would hold the most appeal for kids on the younger end of that range who are curious about the adventures that lay beyond elementary school. This book was fun to read. I read this series last year and recently just read them again . Yes, it was short but at least it was good. At some points i just could not put this book down and at other points of the book it was very slow and boring. At least there where more points of the book that i enjoyed then I was bored. It was fun to read, but my advice if you want to read it is to gt it from the library, read it quickly at a book store, or buy it on kindle or nook. I would say it wasn't worth the money to buy them and its even more because its hardcover. I hope this was helpful to you.
