Everyone is in high spirits ... until one girl is the victim of a Hat Day prank. When Zoey writes about the incident on her Sew Zoey blog, the post gets one nasty comment after another, and another, and another. At first Zoey tries to ignore it, but as the meanness multiplies, she can't help but feel ruffled. Will cyberbullies crush Zoey's spirit - and the blog- for good?
