I grew up reading and loving Enid Blyton's books, including the ones set in boarding schools. When I saw the description of The Zee Files - a young girl leaving California with her family for London and starting as a new student at a boarding school - I was immediately intrigued and eager to read about Zee's story.
The book starts off great, with a nice introduction to Zee and her family, and the excitement and uncertainty of relocating to a different country. However, as the chapters move along, there seems to be a lot going on in the life of a 13 year-old girl. Meanwhile some details are mentioned in passing but feel disconnected from the main plot, like Zee having an older brother who is only noted twice in the book and doesn't seem to live together with the family.
I was aware that this is the first book in the series, yet couldn't help but feel disappointed by the unresolved plots and conflicts when I finished reading. I guess the author expects the readers to get all the books?
Overall, I think the author has done a nice job developing the unique and interesting characters. Many thanks for the e-copy I received from a Goodreads giveaway. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

Mackenzie (Zee) Carmichael is facing major changes in her life as she enters 8th grade. Not only is her family moving to the U.K. because of her father's new job, but Zee will also be attending The Hallows Creative Arts Academy, an exclusive boarding school in Cotswolds. She knows she will miss living with her parents and twin siblings, but she is looking forward to a chance to pursue her interest in music. As Zee tries to maintain contact with her friends, she sets up what she calls The Zee Files, a place where each of her friends can place pictures, video, and messages to help them stay connected, but finding time to keep up with her studies, make new friends, and keep old friends is proving to be more of a challenge than Zee could have imagined.
The Zee Files is a slice of life story about the day-to-day interactions and challenges faced by Zee and her friends. The plot of the book is a good introduction to the characters and Zee's backstory. Told in third person omniscient point of view, the reader frequently gets input from each of the characters, but Zee is the main protagonist of the story. Social media and the role it takes in daily life is also a major element in this book. Clearly this book is meant to be read as part of a larger series about Zee's life, and this story does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, leading the reader into the next book. Overall, The Zee Files is a cute story that includes many of the issues that are part of the every day life of a 13 year old.

Finished The Zee Files by Tina Wells which I won from LibraryThing. This book is written for girls in the 8th, 9th, and 10 grade range. Her family is well off and her father moves to London for a new job. Her mother also has TV production activities, Zwe has a much younger brother and siser who are barely in the story. I do not know if I ever adjusted to the family's income level. Her family is interested in a mostly vegan lifestyle and are into recycling, When they move to London, Zee goes to a private school that promotes that kind of living. There is alot of emphasis on brand names which really iritated me. It does give insight on rich kid probleks, divorce of parents, parents pitting a lot of pressure on their career development,and some rich kid being emotionally neglected. One boy't parents took off for another county and rately touch bases with them! The main charactter is engaging, creative and struggling.

This was a great book. I recommend it for 4th and 5th graders all the way up. This book I could read again but unfortunately I can’t thinking about the thousands of books in my queue. 😅

‘The Zee Files’ by Tina Wells tells the story of Mackenzie Carmichael—better known as Zee—and her transition from living in California to living in London, while spending her school year at boarding school. Once there, she deals with typical ninth grade troubles, such as staying in touch with her friends. One is back home in California, and the other moved to Paris with her parents. She’s also meeting plenty of new people, including popular, attractive Archie, along with Jameela, her new roommate who is a ballet dancer, social media influencer Izzy, laid-back Tom, and old friend, Jasper, among others. While trying to navigate her schoolwork, she finds that her new friends are sometimes hard to read, and her old friends aren’t as forthcoming as she remembers.
While she tries to share her life with them, she feels left in the dark, but as the novel progresses, she learns more about what’s going on around her, and she realizes that life can be messy for more than just herself.
Even though there is a sequel coming, the story ends in a somewhat abrupt way, likely leaving readers wanting to know more about what happens when Zee returns to school after spending some time at home. Tina Wells has done a nice job giving the characters personalities that make them unique and intriguing. This makes it good to know that another story in Zee’s life is on the way.
Sometimes the language seemed too old for what ninth graders might choose to say, but all in all, the story was well-crafted, interesting, and will leave readers wanting more.

This book started off a bit slow for me and I found the characters' huge focus on social media made them seem shallow and self-centered. After Zee started boarding school, I started enjoying the story much more, but was hoping for a longer book as the story just stops with most issues unresolved. I understand that Zee's story continues in the next book, but with nothing wrapped up, I felt cheated. I also noted inconsistencies in Zee's character--she's supposedly vegetarian, yet choses to eat chicken meals in the school cafeteria.
The issues of friendships, parental pressures, peer pressure, starting over, divorce, and first crushes felt like real issues these characters would face. I think middle grade readers will enjoy this book and sequels if they want lighter reading.

It was good and relatable. A easy read. I really liked the characters and it had a preety good plot. Not the most interesting book I've ever read though.

Mackenzie “Zee” Blue is 13 and about to move to the other side of the world. She is from California, where she writes music and performs in a band with her two best friends. But when her dad gets a job in London, the whole family packs up and moves to England. While it’s a big change, Zee is looking forward to maybe seeing her friend Ally, who had moved to Paris. And the boarding school she’s registered for is where Jasper goes. Jasper had lived in California for a while, and Zee had bonded with him over music.
But when Zee gets to London, Ally is too busy to see her. And her mother is busy with setting up their new house and with her Instagram account that features photos of Zee’s much younger siblings, twins, in their matching outfits and highchairs. But it’s not long before Zee has to head to school, The Hollows Creative Arts Academy, in the Cotswolds.
Zee gets set up in her new room with her roommate Jasmine, who is a ballerina. She meets Jasmine’s friend Tom, who is a philosopher. She looks around for Jasper, but doesn’t see him on campus those first few days, but she does meet a YouTube star named Izzy and another musician, Archie, who is one of the most popular guys on campus. She gets her schedule, which is a combination of academic classes and music classes. And she tries to find her way around.
As the weeks go by, Zee finds a schedule that works for her. But that makes it harder for her to keep up with her friends outside of school. Jasper finally shows up on campus, delayed by a family matter. Zee is happy to see him and looks forward to hanging out with him. But she struggles to connect with Ally in Paris or Chloe in California, so she invents the Zee Files, a way for the friends to share letters and photos and music without having to share it all through email or text.
But then things go wrong. Jasmine, her roommate, is spending a lot of time away. Archie wants to spend time with Zee, but her other friends don’t like him. Izzy flirts with Jasper during their study time, making it more difficult for Zee to do well in her classes. And Ally has stopped talking to her completely. Will Zee be able to figure out how to succeed at school and make up with her friends, or will it all turn out to be too much?
The Zee Files is the first in a series, a follow-up series to the Mackenzie Blue books that followed Zee and her friends when they were younger. Now, they’re teenagers and dealing with a lot. Zee and her friends all have strong personalities, and that helps propel the action.
However there is a lot going on in this book. I was surprised by how much pressure was put on these 13-year-olds, and without much adult supervision. I thought the school schedule would be more appropriate for college kids. But if you can accept that these kids are creative and more motivated to excel than other middle schoolers, then the story works. But as the story goes on, Zee finds herself dealing with several different relationship issues, and they don’t get resolved. I can understand leaving some things open to draw people into the next book, but there was too much unresolved to enjoy this as a stand-alone book. Be prepared to read all of The Zee Files books, or finish reading the book with questions left open.
I won a Kindle version of The Zee Files through a Goodreads giveaway, with many thanks.

Adding humor, life's rollercoaster, and a good amount of heart, this is a cute beginning to what promises to be a soon loved series.
Mackenzie (Zee) is on her way to London thanks to her father's new job. She's really not ready for any of it, especially since it means leaving the last of her two best friends behind (the other already being in Paris). Upon arrival, her mother announces that Zee is staying at a boarding school, but luckily, an old friend of hers happens to attend the same school. Already feeling shoved around, Zee not only faces a roommate, who doesn't talk much, but is suddenly battling classes, has a best friend ignoring her, and a guy, who doesn't make friends with anyone, claiming she's his muse. And things get crazier from there.
Zee is a lively girl, who is caught up in a whirlwind, which she's not really sure she wants. Her energy radiates from every page, but she's by no means overly bubbly or silly. Her decisions are thought out, she tries not to break any rules, and she's always thinking of others. She's the kind of girl everyone like and gets along with. Even the situations she faces, while being in London and, therefore, a bit more 'exotic', are the type many middle graders will be able to relate to and understand.
The writing is well done and flows smoothly. Zee's concerns fit well for her age group, and if nothing else, she acts a little young for her age. Being in the 9th grade, I'd normally say this was for a tween/YA audience, but it is solidly written with the middle grade audience in mind. While she is a little older, it's no problem for this age group to relate to her.
Zee faces all sorts of issues, none which are caused by her, but the drama around her is non-stop. It's a quick-paced read, lets some of the culture of London seep in, but really sticks more to the drama. I did smirk that her family's furniture was at the house the same time as they were (we've moved overseas and I promise it isn't that easy), but the author has done her research well. The emotions and troubles Zee encounters are all over the place and constant...she doesn't get to catch her breath...but this is what makes the read addicting and fun. Plus, with all the friends she has, her time is tight. I was disappointed to not have any sort of ending to this book. It leaves off as if at the end of a chapter with everything still open. Especially for middle graders, who don't have their own money flow, this makes it impossible to enjoy just one book, and even more so to pick up one somewhere in the series.
This is a very cute book with an adorable character, which I can see many middle graders enjoying.
I won a complimentary copy through Library Thing and enjoyed meeting Zee quite a bit.

August 6, 2022In The Zee Files, by Tina Wells, Mackenzie “Zee” Blue Carmichael has just been uprooted from California to London with her family and then sent off to boarding school alone and for the first time. This thirteen year old must try to juggle long-distance friendships (the only kind she has at first) with her new home, new boarding school, new friends, and her musical talents. Her ballerina roommate is not overly friendly, but Zee makes some friends and reunites with one former classmate from Califormia who attends her new school (that’s how her parents heard about the great school and decided to enroll her). She uses a lot of platforms to keep in touch with two of her closest friends (one in Paris and one still in California), but still feels the distance between them all. She’s starting to write a musical piece for a performance as well as help a fellow musician. She’s joined a study group with a Youtube sensation, which at first helped pick her grades up, but now the Youtuber spends more time flirting and hosting her video, so that Zee is not getting much from the group. The book ends during a school break, when Zee’s mom sends an Uber to pick her up because both parents are busy. When Zee reaches home, she finds a live-in nanny has taken over her former bedroom and Zee is now in the guest room. She has found out (through a third party) that her Paris friend’s parents are divorcing and feels hurt that her friend didn’t tell her directly, but Zee has been wrapped up in her own life too. It closes with an invitation to meet her friend in Paris. My boys are already asking for book 2: All That Glitters. There are scattered black and white pictures illuminating the different places Zee lives as well as her diverse group of friends.

The Zee Files by Trina Wells delivers a unique narrative with the aid of interspersed social media dialog and interaction.
An up-close look at the life of Mackenzie Carmichael as she strives to stay connected to old friends in California after moving to London. As we all know, the life of a 13-year-old is busy and challenging, especially if you’re trying to adjust to a boarding school environment, making new friends, and desperately trying to stay close with the friends you left behind.
Mackenzie experience lots of trying situations in her new boarding school as she pursues her love of music. She learns that long-distance relationships aren’t easy and that she’s not the only one who is experiencing peer pressure, family pressure, and relationship issues.
I think the audience for which this book is written, will relate to and enjoy following ‘Zee’ through this first part of her slice-of-life story. Don’t expect to have all the loose ends wrapped up by the end of the book. It finishes with lots of unresolved issues and hints at more to come. Definitely leads into another story about Zee.

Mackenzie "Zee" and her family are leaving California for London where her father has taken a job. Zee will be going to boarding school for the first time ever. She is resolved to keep up with her old friends while making new friends. She finds this more difficult than she dreamed. She has a roommate who is obsessed with dance, practicing every waking hour. Is there something else going on with this roommate? Zee meets some new guys, and developing friendship with guys requires a whole new set of social skills.
There is a huge focus on social media, and some of this comes across making the characters seem self-centered and rather shallow. Many of Zee's issues are universal - friendships, pressure from parents, divorces among her friends' parents, moving away from old friends, making new friends.
Middle graders will probably enjoy Zee and her adventures, and I am sure there will be sequels to this story.

Mackenzie (Zee) Blue Carmichael moves with her family from sunny California to London, England for her father’s new job. As a fresh-faced, new nine-year student she finds ups and downs…new friends while trying to stay connected to old friends, life at a boarding school, a new nanny taking over her spot in the family.
But Zee rises to each challenge and tries to make the best of her confusing, yet exciting situation. A quick read with more to come in future installments of The Zee Files series.
Frequent repeating of the same event, confusing inconsistencies, and a few spelling errors make this potentially enjoyable read a tad confusing….not to mention that absolutely nothing wraps up at the end. I’m sure the reason is because of forthcoming books in the series, but I feel at least some of the issues should have been addressed in this first book.
Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers, Tina Wells, and West Margin Press for this ARC.

I thought the book was a bit slow in the beginning, but I think that is due to the focus on social media. However, as Zee started to experience problems with friends, boys, family, and school, I began to really enjoy the story. It did remind me of my middle school days (minus the social media and wealthy environment). I know this is a series, but the abrupt ending frustrated me. Nothing was wrapped up, and I am left wanting to know what happened to these characters. I feel the author could have given us a little bit of resolution.

A fun adventure of British boarding school seen from an American perspective. Mackenzie "Zee" Carmichael is in the 8th grade (US) or year 9 (British). She learns that even though the country has changed, teenage problems haven't.

This book was okay. The intro was good introducing the new characters and starting off in the book series. But It was a little boring. The book needs to start off with excitement so people are even more excited for the next chapter.

This book was entertaining, I liked reading about this all-American girl who lands in a British boarding school and adjusting to its environment when I was a fresh tween. I reread it and I don’t have any real complaints except the MC, Zee. Zee kind of pisses me off. She comes up with this conclusion that Camila “is her replacement” from the air. Also, shes quite confusing at times. One moment shes fawning over Archie (that man makes me angry, read the later books and you’ll understand) and the next shes feeling jealous because Jasper and Izzy are talking. Honestly, whenever a character is jealous for no logical reason whatsoever, it’s annoying. Zee has plenty of these moments. But all in all, shes a good person, I do like her but it's just my pet peeve.
