Sheryl Berk - Author
A light, quick-moving school story about peer acceptance, personal style and the pressure to change presentation in order to fit in.
MacKenzie "Mickey" Williams is the new student at FAB Middle School (Fashion Academy of Brooklyn), a training ground for the fashion designers of tomorrow. But Mickey's goth makeup, multicolored hair, and mismatched shoes make her a "walking fashion don't." When Mickey proves herself to be a star pupil, her classmates want even less to do with her. So, in order to fit in, Mickey decides it's time for a major makeover. The new, trendy "Kenzie" is able to blend in like a true fashionista. But will gaining acceptance come at the price of losing herself?
