I loved the Disney channel Zenon movies growing up and had no idea they were based on a children’s book. I stumbled across this book at the library when searching the catalog to see if they had any of the movies (they don’t… sigh).
This was a very cute book. The movie strays quite a bit, but the general story is there. Zenon starts out as quite a trouble-maker who is then sent to Earth for the summer. While there, she changes quite a bit and learns to appreciate different things. I was unsure how I felt about these changes (it would have been fine if she still liked her music), but I did like the ending.
The illustrations were also great. Wonderful detail and use of color. A splendid throwback that is still fun to read to this day.
