It's Harriet the Spy meets School of Rock: all seventh grader Mackenzie ("Zee") can think about is the Teen Sing contest...until she loses her diary at school. Zee enlists the aid of--and then (unrealistically) accuses--her two friends; readers will spot the real culprit from miles away. Hip black-and-white illustrations and creative details bolster the telegraphed plot.
