Activity Overview
Throughout the novel, Zoe faces a number of challenges at her young age. She struggles with her friendship with Trevor, she has a hard time achieving her goal of getting on the baking TV show, and she lies and hides the fact that she's corresponding with her birth father who’s in jail. Perhaps her biggest challenge of all is proving her father’s innocence.
