Sophomore Year Is Greek to Me

  • Meredith Zeitlin


A high school sophomore navigates a series of unplanned escapades and unexpected reunions in Greece—all while documenting the trip through one-of-a-kind commentary.

“Sharp, hilarious, and possessed of decidedly un-sophomoric heart and wisdom.”—Bennett Madison, author of September Girls

“Hilarious, charming, and gave me a serious case of wanderlust.”—Sarvenaz Tash, author of Three Day Summer

Zona Lowell has lived in New York City her whole life, and plans to follow in the footsteps of her renowned-journalist father. But when he announces they’re moving to Athens for six months so he can work on an important new story, she's devastated—he must have an ulterior motive. See, when Zona's mother married an American, her huge Greek family cut off contact. But Zona never knew her mom, and now she’s supposed to uproot her entire life and meet possibly hostile relatives on their turf? Thanks . . . but no thanks.
