What happens when everything falls apart… right before your birthday?

 

Zoey Khan thought turning ten would be epic—a big party, best friends, and cake for days. But when her family  comes across an unexpected financial crisis, her world tilts sideways, Zoey faces a birthday she never saw coming. And that’s just the beginning.

 

In this heartwarming and courageous second installment of the Zoey Wonders Why series, Zoey is now a fifth grader juggling shifting friendships, a surprise family crisis, and feelings too big to ignore. With her party plans unraveling and her once-loyal friends turning mean, Zoey must figure out who she can count on—and who she truly wants to be. Can she find joy in the unexpected and strength in the storm?
