The Top-Secret Diary of Celie Valentine
Written by Julie Sternberg, Illustrated by Johanna Wright
This is another one of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid knock offs for girls. It is probably the best one that I’ve read. I don’t like the swearing in the Dork Diary series. This is cute, without the cussing. It speaks to that young age when diaries are started and are wanted to be kept secret! It is also the time of life that friendships begin to be so important and can be so earth-shattering if betrayed.
