Coretta Scott King Honor winner Brenda Woods introduces introverted, daydream-prone Zoe, who’s afraid her real life will never be as exciting as her imaginary one.
Zoe Reindeer considers herself “just Zoe”—never measuring up to her too-perfect older sister or her smarty-pants little brother. Truthfully, though, she’d rather just blend in with the plants at the family business, Doc Reindeer’s Exotic Plant Wonderland. She does have one friend, Q, and he’s the best one ever—but he’s moving away, leaving Zoe to fend for herself, and she doesn’t know what she’ll do without him. That is until a tall astronomer from Madagascar comes to the nursery looking for a Baobab tree. His visit starts a ball rolling that makes Zoe long for real adventures, not just imaginary ones—and shows her that perhaps her first real adventure is finally beginning.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 3–6—Zoe Reindeer is the middle child, sandwiched between her pretty, popular older sister and her science genius younger brother. Shy and introverted, she feels comfortable only when she is working in her family's exotic plant nursery; spending time with her best friend, Quincy; or daydreaming. One rainy morning, a customer visits the nursery asking about a baobab tree from his native Madagascar. Zoe and Quincy research the tree and discover that it is endangered. They decide to buy and plant baobab seeds and grow the trees themselves as a surprise for Zoe's father. After Quincy's mother is diagnosed with cancer and he must move away, Zoe struggles without her only friend. A new friendship and the support of her parents and grandparents help Zoe figure out where she fits both at school and at home. When a fire wipes out her family's plant nursery, the now-sprouted baobab tree plant gives them the sign they need to move on. This is a quiet, family-centered story. Many readers will see themselves in Woods's authentic portrayal of an African American girl finding her place in her family and in the world around her. VERDICT Purchase where character-driven middle grade novels, particularly those featuring protagonists of color, are popular and needed.—Kefira Phillipe, Nichols Middle School, Evanston, IL
Review
“Spunky and inquisitive narrative voice. . . . Woods balances serious issues with humor. Zoe’s character is consistently relatable and encouraging to those who might not feel very special and who are trying, like Zoe, to understand themselves and the world around them.”—The Horn Book
“Woods develops a realistic adolescent struggle with self-acceptance. . . . Young readers will easily identify with Zoe’s unbridled curiosity and wishes for the future, and the ending satisfies. . . . This touching tale about finding strength in uniqueness is a well-crafted read from start to finish.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Woods handles big challenges . . . with sensitivity and a light touch. Readers will find it easy to sink into Zoe’s warm family life, realistic in its squabbles, worries, and powerfully evident love.”—Publishers Weekly
“Many readers will see themselves in Woods’s authentic portrayal of an African American girl finding her place in her family and in the world around her.”—School Library Journal
