"Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey" meets "Confessions of Georgina Nicolson", here we have intertwined stories of 3 best friends along with 3 other supporting characters. The author's writing style is distinct and compelling to read in every diary entry. There are lots of analogies that I find quotable and worth remembering. This is a story of friendship, jealousy, resentment, mystery, responsibility and redemption. Highly recommended for children who want to develop their journaling skills.
