Broken Promises ~ Melody Carlson

This is book 3 of the Being Zoey series and is meant for tweens reading.  But anyone will enjoy this book.  In this book Zoey promises her best friend Louisa to try out for the school play, even though she doesn't want to.  When she makes the play Zoey holds on to her promise to her best friend and participates in the play.  Zoey also is dealing with her mother coming back to pick her up from living with her grandparents and taking her back to live in Seattle.  Zoey has to deal with bullying, friendship, family and following what God wants her to do.

I would recommend this to those that want a great read about staying true to your word.  It also deals with bullying in school from classmates that don't understand.  It teaches a great lesson of how to deal with the situation instead of doing what your feelings want you to do.  I loved this book and how it moved fast and kept you interested and made you feel for Zoey and her friend.

Author: Melody Carlson
Genre:  Middle Grade
Release Date: December 15, 2019

A school play sounds like fun…for some.

As she settles into life in the middle school of her new hometown, Zoey agrees to audition for the school play to encourage Louisa. Isn’t that what a BFF does? But she’s none too sure it’ll actually be fun—especially when she’s cast as a dog! Louisa really does need her support though when some of the older girls get upset at a sixth grader landing the lead role. Zoey does her best to be supportive and finally begins to feel really at home with her grandparents and at school.

Until someone pulls the plug on all her dreams.

More from Melody

For many tweens, middle school is a jungle of insecurities, mean girls, and disappointments. As usual I gave Zoey plenty to deal with. Including a BFF with high expectations and an absentee mom who still hasn’t grown up. Even though some people let her down, Zoey keeps plugging along, even playing Sandy the dog in the school play. And through her struggles she changes and matures — kind of like real life.
