| Zibby decides to throw a Totally Fair & Equal Party
in response to all the snotty parties her friends at
school are throwing. But can Zibby really invite everyone?
And what happens when she finds her open invitation policy
lands her in one tricky party predicament? |
When
Zibby's old best friend and new best friend can't stand
each other, Zibby launches Operation Friendship Campaign
to get them to like each other... and it works, too
well, and they become BFFs! Can Zibby find a way to
form this duo into a happy trio, or will her peace-making
efforts result in her being Zibby Payne, the odd girl
out? |
Alison and the Zibby Payne series have been featured on KTLA News and in Family Fun Magazine (April, 2008) in addition to The TODAY Show.

What critics are saying about the "Zibby Payne" series:
“funny and engaging sixth-grade characters... a good choice for
reluctant readers.”
—School Library Journal, July 2007
“...Zibby Payne's adventures have the humour and momentum
to become a well-loved series.”
—Montreal Review of Books, Spring/Summer 2007
"The issues of friends and enemies are timeless, and even readers new to the Zibby Payne series will slip smoothly into the candid, funny, nonpreachy account of how a tough kid betrays the best in herself and then battles to put things right"
—Booklist (American Library Association), April 2008

Coming next, in the fall of 2008:
Zibby Payne & the Red Carpet Revolt
This time, Zibby's sometimes friend (but more often rival) Amber, volunteers to lead etiquette classes to make the sixth graders behave more properly in public. But Amber's idea of "proper" is Zibby's idea of
"snooty"!
The girls learn how to do things like use a fish fork and
curtsy like royalty. Ugh -- Amber is turning them all into a bunch of
mindless princesses! Don't get her wrong, it's not that Zibby's a fan of bad manners. It's
just that she knows Amber's "Etiquette Uprising" is based on the wrong
things: appearances and material objects. Ready to show off her
prodigies, Amber decides to throw a glitzy gala that would put the
Academy Awards to shame. Will Zibby have to follow the red carpet rules?
