Zibby Payne & the Wonderful, Terrible Tomboy Experiment
by Alison Bell
Zibby Payne can’t wait for sixth grade, but on the first day back in class, she gets an awful surprise. Her friends have gone completely girly over the summer, and just want to put on make-up, fix their hair, and talk about boy bands. To save the school year, and show her former best friend Sarah that she doesn’t have to follow the crowd to be cool, Zibby decides to become a Total Tomboy. Even if her old friends are giving her dirty looks, Zibby insists she’s having the time of her life…until she tries to form an exclusive “Tomboy Club,” and her experiment starts to backfire. Can Zibby find a way to be different and still keep her best friend, or will she end up one lonely, unhappy tomboy?
