From Zoom Calls to Beach Waves: Zoë's Cape Town Adventure
What happens when home and remote work collide... and you're the kid stuck in the middle?
Zoë feels more like the family's official "don't disturb" sign, tiptoeing around a house that runs on mute buttons and virtual deadlines.Zoë Jacobs thought moving to Cape Town meant more beach days, more fun, and more time with her parents.

Determined to get their attention, Zoë hatches a series of brilliant (and slightly disastrous) plans - from fake emergencies to letting her mischievous dachshunds cause absolute mayhem. But nothing works. Until her parents finally agree to adventure days.

Perfect for readers ages 9 to 12, From Zoom Calls to Beach Waves: Zoë's Cape Town Adventure is a heartwarming and hilarious middle-grade novel about family, change, and learning that the best adventures aren't always the ones we plan.
