Being ten is hard. Just ask Celie who is juggling fights with her sister, secrets at school, a forgetful grandmother, and a best friend who won’t speak to her. How can a girl who doesn’t like change survive when everything around her is changing? By writing, of course. Girls will recognize their own struggles as they join Celie who lets it all out in her top-secret diary.

Gr 3–5—Ten-year-old Celie confides her worries about her ex-best friend, her maddening older sister, and her ailing grandmother in her journal. Humor and an accessible epistolary format lighten the story's heavy issues of bullying, age-related illness, and parental discord. Celie meets tough situations with spirit and humor and accompanies even her angstiest entries with doodles of brownies, narwhals, and her friends and family. The simple line drawings and handwritten typeface make this a prime readalike for other fiction graphic novel hybrids such as Renee Russell's "Dork Diaries" (S. & S.), Amy Ignatow's "Popularity Papers" (Abrams), and Marissa Moss's "Amelia's Notebook" (S. & S.). This title has both wide appeal and substance and begins what will likely be a popular series.—Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library
