Zoey 101 Beach Party By: Jane Mason

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you went to boarding school? If you did you should read Zoey 101 Beach Party. You will hear about their classes, field trips and drama. My favorite part was when Quinn, a girl that is a “mad scientist” that lives in the dorm next to Zoey, made a new fruit. The new fruit was a mixture of banana and an apple. She calls it the Bannapple. I think it would taste good. Zoey has a lot of friends in her boarding school called Pacific Coast Academy (aka. PCA).Zoey’s dorm number is 101, she has two roommates their names are Nicole and Dana. Nicole is sweet and a girly girl. Dana is “a tough cookie” and sort of a “tom boy”. I saw the movie too, but nothing compares to the book .You should check it out!
