Review:
From Kirkus ReviewsPart journal, part graphic novel, all fun (with echoes of Harriet the Spy), this is a clever account of a growing-up experience that familiar to middle-grade readers. —Kirkus Reviews
From School Library Journal
The engaging text reflects a contemporary preadolescent sensibility and is chock-full of clean, distinguished line drawings on each spread. As Ellie shares her frustrations, conflicts, fun and wildlife facts, readers observe the valuable lessons that she learns about getting along with others–even if they seem to be obnoxious relatives. Ellie hints at further summer surprises, and readers will look forward to her next adventure. —School Library Journal From CurledUp.comEllie’s journal encompasses a little frog mystery, a little Seaweed Sally intrigue, and lots of wilderness adventure and drama. Ruth McNally Barshaw’s first book for children speaks volumes with its words and its pictures. This record of a diarist is fun to read and recommended. —CurledUp.com From Grand Rapids Press
Lots of voice, humor, and pre-teen attitude shine through the pages in Ellie's journal, not just through words and story, but through her art. The simple line drawings on every page add personality, and the hand-drawn text makes it feel authentic. After experiencing Ellie's way of expressing herself, kids may be inclined to create there own illustrated journals. —Grand Rapids Press

There is nothing to dislike in this charming tale, which is heavily illustrated with whimsical cartoonish drawings. It realistically portrays the characters (even the adults!), giving readers much to consider about the pros and cons of relationships, along with hilarious situations and witty asides —KidsRead.com
