Our Take
Kids devour it for the laughs and diary voice while parents and teachers see it as a reliable reluctant-reader gateway with limited literary depth
✓ Perfect for
- • Kids who love Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Tom Gates and want a hilarious
- • illustrated diary with a girl protagonist. Ideal for reluctant readers ages 8-11 who will devour the short entries and laugh-out-loud comedy.
