"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*
"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*
"Zoey Webber is a funky fashionista stuck in a
gray-polyester-uniform world. The first book in a delightful new
series, this will appeal to any girl finding her own style. Zoey is
a bubbly and vivacious character who doesn’t let insecurities take
command."
*Booklist*
"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*
