Summary

Zoey and her friends are dressed to the nines for Libby’s bat mitzvah—but will things fall apart at the eleventh hour? Includes “Sew Zoey” blog posts and fashion illustrations.

In the twelfth book in the Sew Zoey series, Zoey’s friend Libby is preparing for her bat mitzvah, and Zoey, Priti, and Kate are really excited for the big party. Libby asks Zoey to make her dress, and loves the design—but her mom thinks it’s inappropriate. Can Zoey find a way to compromise while still giving Libby her dream dress? Zoey is stuck in the middle in other ways, too: Her brother Marcus’s relationship with Allie is on the rocks. Does Zoey’s loyalty to her brother mean that she has to end her friendship with Allie? And when Zoey sees something shocking at the bat mitzvah party, she’s not so sure she wants to be Allie’s friend at all…
