ZIBBY PAYNE & THE WONDERFUL, TERRIBLE TOMBOY EXPERIMENT: The first book in the new Zibby Payne series..... It's the first day of school, and Zibby Payne can't believe how much her friends have changed ... for the worse! At recess, all they want to do is put on makeup, fix their hair, and talk about boys - ugh! Zibby decides there's only one way to save the school year-she'll become a total tomboy. She dumps her frilly outfits, starts playing.

Everyone's favorite Total Tomboy, Zibby Payne, is back, with more of her precarious, and hilarious, navigation of the ups and downs of sixth grade. Zibby can't believe ''friends'' like Amber and Savannah are turning their birthday bashes into exclusive events, handing out special invitations to a select few. It's not that Zibby actually wants any dumb party privileges but this is just plain rude! Zibby decides to have her own shindig - which will of course be The Best Party Ever - and comes up with a new mantra; ''A party for all, and all for the party!'' But can Zibby really invite everyone? Even the boys? Even classmates that she's not really friends with? Zibby's open invitation policy lands her in one tricky party predicament!

Everyone's favorite Total Tomboy, Zibby Payne, is back, with more of her precarious, and hilarious, navigation of the ups and downs of sixth grade. Zibby's new best friend Gertrude and old best friend Sarah can't stand each other, so Zibby swings into action with Operation Friendship Campaign. And, it works ... too well! Gertrude and Sarah end up bonding more with each other than with Zibby, whose peacemaking efforts have resulted in Zibby Payne, Party of One. As Zibby tries to figure out how to turn this smug duo into a happy trio, she discovers that Gertrude isn't who she seemed to be and in fact, purposefully drove Zibby and Sarah apart using not-so-nice tactics. Can Zibby save Sarah from the toxic friendship or will Sarah think it's just Zibby's jealousy talking?

ZIBBY PAYNE & RED CARPET REVOLT: The fifth book in the Zibby Payne series..... Sixth-grade sensation Zibby Payne is back! This time, Zibby's sometimes-friend - but more often rival - Amber volunteers to lead etiquette classes to make the sixth graders behave 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?
