A new school and a new city for Zee

After moving from California to London for her father’s job, 13-year-old Zee must adjust to life at The Hollows, a boarding school far from everything familiar. She hopes to make friends and get her music career started, but a chilly roommate, an absent best friend, and a distracting classmate complicate her plans. The setup brings together the practical challenges of starting over with Zee’s interests in friendship and music, against the backdrop of her first experiences in London. The story’s central question is whether this unfamiliar place can begin to feel like home.

Mackenzie ("Zee") Blue Carmichael has never eaten fish 'n' chips, never slept away from home longer than a few nights, and knows nothing about London. But after her family relocates for her dad's new job, 13-year-old Zee leaves her old life in California behind for a new one in England.

Zee lands in London and at her new boarding school, The Hollows, hoping to find new friends and jump-start her music career. All of that proves difficult between a chilly roommate, a BFF who's gone MIA, and distractions from the poshest--and cutest--student in her grade. Will Zee thrive in her new environment, and will London end up not being so bad after all?
