The Invisible Rules of Zoe Lama

The Invisible Rules of Zoe Lama by Tish Cohen is a really great book. I'm only half way through the book and so far I am loving it! It's about a girl named Zoe Lama. She has two BFFIS (best friends in school), Susannah and Laurel. Zoe also has a grandma who's kind of going nuts. There is also a new kid called Maisie who stated to hang out with the ''bad'' girls but Zoe is convincing her to be more like herself.

Zoe's last name is not Lama, but the teachers
call her that because Lama means teacher in another language. She helps other kids if they need tips or advice. She is also a kiss up to some of teachers. That's why shes called Zoe Lama.

The author highlights a lot of interesting things. For example, tips, rules, and voices are highlighted. Some times just a special word. I always get so excited when I come across another highlight.

My favorite character is not Zoe, not Susannah, but its Zoe's grandma. She is really funny when she is losing her mind! For example, Zoe was guiding her to her bed when she asked ''can you get my grandaughter Zoe, she makes wonderful hot cocoa.''

I am having a really grand time reading The Invisible Rules of Zoe Lama.

  1. Dear Audrey,
    I really liked your post! I saw this book in class and thought I might read it, but thought it wouldn't be good because on the back summary it said she was like a ''pint sized Dalli Lama" and I only wanted to know about the real Dalli Lama... But now, I think I might read it!!
    Sincerely,
    Haley
