Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Mackenzie Blue Complete Collection
Tina Wells · 2014
76/100
👍 Worth It
Tina Wells built a five-book series that clearly resonated with tween girls — the protagonist is creative, relatable, and navigates middle school with enough authenticity to keep readers coming back through five volumes. Getting the complete collection as a single ebook omnibus is a strong value proposition for a family with a daughter in the 8–12 range. It is lighter than the more literary end of middle-grade fiction, but it earns its audience honestly.
