From the bestselling Magic Charm series, which has over 4 million copies in print, The Secret Diary combines an illustrated storybook with a generous write-in diary that comes with a working lock and a golden key charm on a long, sturdy, chain.

Here is the story of a young girl who wishes for a baby sister, but once the squalling infant comes home from the hospital to demand every moment of her mother�s time, is taken aback with second thoughts and feelings of jealousy. Where to turn? To the gift of a diary, from an understanding aunt.

And from there the book becomes the reader's own secret diary. Illustrated throughout and offering occasional suggestions for entries, "The Person I Would Secretly Like to Telephone," "A Country I Would Secretly Like to Visit" -- it is a place to hold all secret thoughts and private feelings, wishes and dreams. The diary is printed on lined paper, divided into months of the year, and comes with a lock with two keys on a golden chain to keep everything safe. 110,000 copies in print.
