I just finished reading The Real Z by Jen Calonita. The book is definitely worth reading, and is a pretty easy reading level (ages 8+). The chapters are about 10 pages long, which makes it easy if you don't want to be committed for a long period of time.
We find out Z's full name pretty quickly (in the first chapter), get to meet some of her friends, and follow her journey as she prepares a film to submit to the film festival contest. This book is good at showing us that it's important to not let exciting events in our lives dominate and take over. Z is pretty easy for girls to relate to. She is tech saavy, and is probably in middle school. She does spend a lot of time with her friends, and video chats with her friends who live overseas.
I hope that you all are able to enjoy the book as much as I did! If you read the book, be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below. I do have to approve the comments, but plan on logging on more often than I have in the past few years. I plan on reading her new book (Z on Location) and will write a review once I'm done.
